 You can customize HAPI by telling HAPI to look for the configuration file in a different location, eg.:
 
+```
+docker run -p 8090:8080 -v $(pwd)/yourLocalFolder:/configs -e "--spring.config.location=file:///configs/another.application.yaml" hapiproject/hapi:latest
+```
+Here, the configuration file (*another.application.yaml*) is placed locally in the folder *yourLocalFolder*.

 docker run -p 8090:8080 -e "--spring.config.location=classpath:/another.application.yaml" hapiproject/hapi:latest
 ```
