Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The MeshCentral config gets overwritten each time the Docker container is restarted. This is fine, but the current entrypoint script does not allow configuration of SMTP settings.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add SMTP variables + config to the tactical-meshcentral container entrypoint script

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using an init container to edit the config or mounting the config as a volume (both are messy)

Additional context
See https://info.meshcentral.com/downloads/MeshCentral2/MeshCentral2UserGuide-0.2.9.pdf for more info

You can use the MESH_PERSISTEN_CONFIG=1 option in the mesh container to avoid the mesh config being overwritten

Hi @sadnub, it would be nice to have these variables configurable through the Docker environment. Do you mind keeping this one open? I'm happy to work on it and add another PR when I have time.

Yeah no problem! Can just add the variables at the top of the mesh container entrypoint
