How to apply modules.conf changes

[Kenji776]

I am a little new to docker and linux so please forgive what is a likely a very simple/silly problem. I need to remove the <module name="connectban"> on line 685 in modules.conf. I know you can load in a custom inspircd.conf by passing it into the docker run command but I don't how to provide a custom modules.conf. I did try directly editing the file in the container with the commands

docker exec -it inspircd /bin/sh
vi /inspircd/conf/modules.conf
(Removed the line and save)
docker restart inspircd 

I also tried modifying the /conf/modules.conf file (not inside the inspircd folder) but that didn't work either. However the configuration changes were not loaded, I also changed the ban message just to see and that didn't change either. What is the correct way to make the needed modifications to the file?

As an additional question, how would I go about clearing bans? My local computer has been banned due to some software I'm working on attempting to connect to the server and now I can't connect which is definitely slowing down my debugging :P
