Server Configuration Options

[damoclark]

A future feature

The server needs to be configurable at start up.

Conventional methods to do this include

• Command line args
• Configuration file
• Environment Variables

In all likelihood, there will be an npm module that will cater to this, perhaps even all of them, and in a OS-independent way, for the Windows folk.

I'll add a separate issue for configurable options necessary.

I think we can accomplish this easily with node:
https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/process.html#process_process_argv

use process.argv to access the command line options.

@nick2170 How about something like this?

envar

Covers all 3 methods in one abstract library.

Gives great flexibility and simplicity.

Thoughts?
