Explanations

Check usage section and see explanations

1. Mount your working directory
2. Set your own nginx configuration which will be included at nginx.conf http block.
3. An example how to use ssmtp (read more here https://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP):

# /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
mailhub:mail.example.com:587
AuthUser=support@example.com
AuthPass=YourPassword
UseSTARTTLS=YES

hostname=example.com
FromLineOverride=YES

4. Just set your own options to override default php.ini file:

memory_limit = 1024M
post_max_size = 100M
# set our own ...

5. Set your own cronjob tasks just entering as new entry. Below are an explanation how to use cron. All added entries of commands will be placed at /etc/cron.d/crontasks and will be initialized via crontab. Type crontab -e at container to see your entries. http://crontab-generator.org/.
