You should be able to reference the $config without using the dependency injector unless you are trying to access it outside of your index.php. If you are attempting to access it outside of your index.php, you will need to add it to the DI Container. Take a look at the link below on how to register it to the DI Container.

https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/di.html#registering-services-in-the-container

//Using an anonymous function, the instance will be lazy loaded
$di->set("config", function($config) {
    return $config;
});
