Hi, I am trying to load a custom config file for my game but it does not seem to load that file I have tried everything that I can find but it does not seem to fix my issue. I have also attached my docker-compose file.

Please make sure your `nakama:volumes` entry is correct and matches your config location.  
Do you have your config file inside the `data` folder of your current directory?  
This [guide](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/getting-started/install/docker/#configuration-file) goes into the details.
