For some reason, I need to set up the loadConfig tests with RYUK_VERBOSE=false in order to make the tests pass locally:

tests := map[string]struct {
		setEnv   func(*testing.T)
		expected config
	}{
		"defaults": {
+			setEnv: func(t *testing.T) {
+				t.Helper()
+				t.Setenv("RYUK_VERBOSE", "false")
+			},
			expected: config{
				ConnectionTimeout:   time.Minute,
				Port:                8080,
				ReconnectionTimeout: time.Second * 10,
				RemoveRetries:       10,
				RequestTimeout:      time.Second * 10,
				RetryOffset:         -time.Second,
				ShutdownTimeout:     time.Minute * 10,
			},
		},
		"custom": {
			setEnv: func(t *testing.T) {
				t.Helper()
				t.Setenv("RYUK_PORT", "1234")

A bug in the env library for default booleans?

Interesting what's the error you get?

If you had environment vars set then the test would have failed as it was expecting a clean environment.

I've updated the test to clean the current environment before it starts, which could fix the issue you saw.

Hi @stevenh, thanks for this PR, I've started the review and I see that there are some changes that would deserve its own PR:

• the addition of a library to read the env vars. Is there any other library you considered for that? I like this one is simple and with zero deps.
• the bumps for the different Go versions and tools (golangci-lint)
• the real refactor

Could you separate them into three? I can help out with the two first so you can focus on the real meat here

Ok so little more involved due to go bump needed new linter so we need to merge in the following order:

1. chore: bump versions #160
2. chore: simply config #159 -- Also includes version bump so it complies
3. feat: shutdown race resilience #141 -- Will need a rebase after the config merge
4. ci: enhanced linting #158 -- Currently erroring, but no point fixing

I didn't consider other env config libraries, as I've used that one a bunch of times and has worked well, but if there is something better happy to swap.

Given #159 has been merged, could you please rebase this one? 🙏

@mdelapenya added some docker cli based tests for container, network, image and volume reaping so should be good to go.
