- new directory structure containing manifest.json and one json file per provider, by default.
- the manifest.json file can specify a filepath for each vpn provider
- each vpn provider json data file can contain the `"preferred": true` field to enforce it is used even if outdated, unless there is a version mismatch
- `STORAGE_SERVERS_DIRECTORY_PATH` replaces `STORAGE_FILEPATH` (which is now a migration source only). It sets the directory where server manifest and per-provider JSON files are stored (default: `/gluetun/servers/`).
- First-run migration: On startup, gluetun checks for the old /gluetun/servers.json file; if found and no new manifest exists, it automatically migrates all data to /gluetun/servers/ directory structure
- Silent fallback: If legacy file isn't found, uses the new directory path normally
- Legacy cleanup: After successful migration, attempts to remove the old fat JSON file (logs warning only if removal fails, e.g., read-only bind mounts)
