When deploying blocky in my environment, I had wanted to use a NFS volume to externalize the config file. However this is not possible when the executable is in the same directory the config file is in. Making the config file location a variable allows this.
The edge case arises as NFS can only mount filesystems instead of individual files. If you mount the volume into the /app directory of the container, this overrides the existing content (the blocky executable) causing the container to fail to start.
