Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
PORKBUN_OUTBOX_DIR (Where the tools that save a file (an SSL bundle, an invoice PDF, a DNS zone export, a new mailbox's password) write it. Without it those tools answer with a configuration error; every other tool works), PORKBUN_TOOLSETS (The toolsets whose tools the server loads, separated by commas, e.g. dns,forwards. Empty loads every toolset).
