config folder missing in windows build

[akrotor]

Upon running compressarr.exe i receive the below complaining about path not found - There appears to simply be no config dir in the windows release, and it isn't created upon first-run / exit.

I tried browsing to the localhost page and while it loads, perhaps unsurprisingly all the buttons except help are unresponsive.

Wow, someone running it on Windows. I'm not sure I ever tested that, it probably needs the Config directory created where ever you've extracted it. It's supposed to be run in a Docker environment with a Path for the config. It's .net so there's no reason why it shouldn't run in Windows, I certainly developed and tested in a Windows environment, I must have had the folder already from testing.

Adding

RUN mkdir /config/

to the Dockerfile fixes this

The config will not persist past container restart though.
