Feature Request: allow alternate location for config and data (persistent) files

[jeff47]

Is it possible to modify this code to allow a different path to the config, and to point to a different location for saving any files needed to persist between instances? This would easily allow the project to be run from a docker container with a volume (bind mount) for the config and other persistent files.

@jeff47 - The config_dir variable is meant for that: https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi/blob/master/example.config.yml#L3

You can set it to anywhere you'd like (it defaults to the current user's home directory), and back up all the data there. Any of the Docker volumes can be backed up using normal Docker methods—though I'm also planning on adding more docs around how to do good backups for anything persistent in this issue: #7
