This makes it rather difficult to configure the new content pack loading feature.

Hi, please don't change the configuration file directly. Please use environment variables for changing certain options. E.g. changing the content pack directory works with -e GRAYLOG2_CONTENT_PACKS_DIR=/foo

Thanks! I didn't find that option on the web page: http://docs.graylog.org/en/latest/pages/installation/docker.html

It's a server thing, you can use it for every single option.
