Description

Especially useful for Docker, e.g. issue 38.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing command line flags and how they are parsed (likely using a library like flag or cobra). Study a similar Go project that loads a config file to see the pattern. Then implement a config file reader (e.g., YAML or JSON) that maps to the same options, and integrate it so that a config file can override or supplement command line arguments, particularly for Docker deployments.
