hopefully this commit doesnt do anything, but it opens up the ability to
change the static folder of the project through the environment variable
STATIC_FOLDER so that we can cache static files and not cache the index
file (allowing more passive deployment strategies), and allows the user
to change the base path of the project with the BASE_PATH variable,
opening up the ability to run an instance behind an nginx proxy,
though that change is pending an update to the @influxdata/oats package
before we can turn it on
