Recently, I installed the project via
pipx
in combination with a dotenv file for the config as a systemd service. However, the default (and hardcoded) location of the dotenv is the parent directory of the app, which makes sense if the app sits in the repo's directory. When installing with pipx though, one would need to put the dotenv file into thesite-packages
directory which doesn't seem sensible, even if harmless. As such, I thought it would make sense to allow setting a custom path to the dotenv (something like~/.config/whoogle/whoogle.env
), which this change allows by passing .env's path to the environment variableWHOOGLE_DOTENV_PATH
