Advanced configuration options

Some configuration options can not be edited through the UI and should only be used if needed.

Depending on the option they can be configured either by editing the config.yml configuration file or by using an enviroment variable or in a few cases by using flags when running stash.

As an example the port option can be changed from the default 9999 to 1234 by one of the below methods:

• adding port: 1234 to the config.yml file
• setting the ENV variable STASH_PORT to 1234 eg STASH_PORT=1234 ./stash
• using the flag --port when running stash ./stash --port 1234
