Usually, Erlang systems are run as releases. They specify configuration in
a file, usually sys.config but that file can read further configuration
from another file, or you can override configuration on the command line.

However, I am curious about your process of running your software. Maybe,
if you explained it, we would be able to describe an alternative way of
handling the distribution and running of said software.
