Discussion: How to make it more transparent what options can be set and which are the default?

[fbartels]

There are currently multiple ways how "default" values for configuration values are defined:

• the programmed default of the binary
  • e.g. kopano-servers default for user_plugin is db (see https://stash.kopano.io/projects/KC/repos/kopanocore/browse/installer/linux/server.cfg#342)
• a "default" derived from the installed configuration file
  • if a file is mounted into the container this could override settings made
• a runtime default enforced at startup
  • e.g. through https://github.com/zokradonh/kopano-docker/blob/master/core/defaultconfigs/server.py
  • this is intended for settings that are expected within this container deployment, but it could differ from what users could experience from a packaged installation
• a default from docker-compose
  • docker-compose specifies a lot of environment variables
  • my primary intention so far was that they are more visible in the compose file and can/should be settings that admins want to modify (plus if you have something variable this is nice as well)
