Hi!

While playing with the service, I get this error:

```
'Request parameters exceed the server configuration limits. The approximated route distance must not be greater than 100000.0 meters'

```

I tried to change the `docker/conf/app.config.sample` file, basically everything was 100000 to 200000, and restarted the docker image. But no effect.

What should I do? Apart from taking a crash course on Docker…

Nevermind, just had to rebuild Docker container:

`docker-compose up -d --build`
