Implement a way to recieve a token at runtime rather than hardcoded

[toastal]

I keep my configs public and with gobs of services I've used, this is the first that seems to only allow hardcoded values in its file. Either allowing to be read from a file, an environment variable (could be used with systemd), or UNIX command would help clear this up.

Here's a tip, since prosody-filer is in maintenance mode.

You could consider the following:

• create a config with a bogus token (say "secretsquirrel")
• make that public as you wish
• using an ExecStartPre in your systemd .service file you can then patch in your actual token from your beloved environment variable using sed (or use something better, eg an actual templating language) and output it to the config file that's actually sourced (and which you won't check in) by prosody-filer.

Hi! I will look into this. Config values should be set via the config file (and should be adjustable via ENV vars). 👍
