Configuration change

As of 6.3, Avalon is using the flexible and increasingly popular Config gem. Default settings for Avalon now live at config/settings.yml, which should not be altered. Any custom config should be placed in config/settings/<environment>.local.yml which will selectively override the default values.

Properly formatted environment variables can also override Avalon settings. For example, SETTINGS__REDIS__HOST will override

redis:
  host:

A list of config values can be found at Configuration Files#config/settings.yml

For Docker Installations

Update new code from avalon-docker
