Installation requires changes in code (start_server.sh)

[netsensei]

Per the installation instructions:

Edit the start_server.sh script in the supervisor-directory and update the following configuration settings:

This means you have to alter the code of the application in order to configure it for your environment.

Such a setup is pretty much unmaintainable for application managers. More so if they are using automated tools to roll out updates or changes to the code. Chances are that this file will be overwritten on future updates.

Conceivable, a maintainer could exclude this file from receiving (automated) updates. But a future update contains a code change / bugfix in this file, the maintainer is required to manually edit / integrate that change.

Suggestion: Since it's a bash script: use environment variables instead and use add a ~/.resolver/config file of sorts. It's up to the application manager to include the configuration in their dot files so the run_server.sh script picks it up automatically.
