Docker compose - load configuration

[lucazamm]

Hi to All,
first of all I want to thank to the community and Kong Nation!

Thanks to all.

Best
Luca

pantsel/konga

I used Konga in these last days.

I think the only way is to develop a Java project with API calls and settings called after Kong docker execution.

Bye
Luca
