Hello,
I encountered an issue when trying to start the Pangolin container after following the Quick Install guide. I followed the instructions exactly as described, without making any special configuration changes. However, the pangolin container fails to start with the following error:

Starting migrations from version 1.0.0-beta.3
All migrations completed successfully
/app/server/lib/config.ts:158
            throw new Error(`Invalid configuration file: ${errors}`);
                  ^


Error: Invalid configuration file: Validation error: Required at "gerbil.site_block_size"
    at Config.loadConfig (/app/server/lib/config.ts:158:19)
    at new Config (/app/server/lib/config.ts:91:14)
    at <anonymous> (/app/server/lib/config.ts:202:23)

Node.js v20.18.1

To troubleshoot, I modified the docker-compose.yml file to use the 1.0.0-beta.2 version of the Pangolin image instead of 1.0.0-beta.3. With this version, the container starts correctly without any issues.

Thank you for this tool and your work!
