You have no given details of how NODE_CONFIG is used to load a config. Since
the config file is JSON, you could potentially require() it in server.js, and
perhaps that’s what you are doing. If you do not want to specify the path to it
(or the enclosing directory) on the command-line, then you can set NODE_PATH to
include that directory. Or you could require(‘./config/default.json’), which
may not be portable. Anytime you require(), you always have to keep in mind
caching, which may give you a nasty surprise later, if unaccounted for.
