Config System
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There should be a way to change config settings without having to restart a container.
Describe the solution you'd like Add an config section with all the values that can be set by environment can also be set here.
Describe alternatives you've considered The only alternative is setting via environment settings.
Do you change settings frequently enough to warrant this? None of the authentik environment settings are particularly volatile, and under normal circumstances should rarely need to be changed.
It's not that we change settings frequently, but when changing something like the mail settings, having to restart the containers for these settings to take affect can cause issues -- even just the few seconds it takes for the containers to restart can cause users not to be able to access needed services. This is far from idea
If availability is this big of a concern then I'd recommend using the kubernetes helm chart which does rolling restarts for these changes
Additionally, a lot of the config values (like email credentials) can be configured to be read from a file, see https://goauthentik.io/docs/installation/configuration
