Problem Description

The OpenIM server currently utilizes Viper for configuration file parsing. While this is effective for initial loading, it lacks the ability to dynamically reload configurations at runtime.

Benefits

1. Reduced Downtime: Eliminates the need to restart the server for config changes.
2. Improved Efficiency: Facilitates quick updates and testing of new configurations.
3. Dynamic Configuration Management: Offers more flexibility in managing server settings.

Potential Drawbacks

no
