Hello,

is there any way to set configuration stuff like contact email, notification email, tags configuration, etc in the `containers/app.yml` or somewhere else in the code?

I say so because I’m using Ansible to provision some server with Discourse standalone docker image and I have a lot of settings that are shared. Would be nice to have some `.yml` that I can re-use between projects. Version control is another reason why I would really love that.

Many thanks, really liking the experience for now 👏👏👏
