[FEAT] Environment variable to disable auth

[Jleagle]

Is this a new feature request?

• I have searched the existing issues

Wanted change

The only way to disable the auth fully is via the XML config file. (https://wiki.servarr.com/sonarr/faq-v4#authentication-method)

It would be great to have an env variable to set this option in the config for you.

Thanks!

Reason for change

Lots of people put their Sonarr behind their own auth, OAuth etc. It can be quite annoying logging in twice every time.

Proposed code change

Auth was enforced by the upstream project by design because it was entirely too easy and common for people to leave their installs exposed to the internet without anything in front of them. We're not going to add an environment variable that makes it trivial for people to do exactly that again.

It's a one-time simple change if you want to use an external auth provider.

Okay thanks. What simple change are you referring to?

[thespad]

The one you linked from their documentation.

Ah right, to add a little more context, to update the config.xml i'd have to add it as a volume but my setup is open source and the config.xml contains an api key. Maybe i can extend the image instead.
