Setup and Configuring as a Standalone Service

The microservice is configured via the config.ini file that sits in the same folder as the main executable.

The .vsix files, along with their download counts and ratings data are stored in a subfolder of the main service executable VsixStorage/ (this subfolder is configurable). This makes taking backups and moving the service between machines super easy as the root folder contains the entire Microservice state and data.
