⁠Disable admin mode

According with MantisBT documentation⁠, for security reasons, you should delete (or at least restrict access to) the admin directory. If an environment variable called DISABLE_ADMIN_MODE is set with value true, the admin directory will be deleted at startup.

⁠Configure CRON Jobs

In order to configure CRON Jobs, i.e. for EmailReportingPlugin, you may specify the folloging environment variables:

• CRON_ENABLED: whether or not enable CRON jobs. Possible values true or false. Default false.
• CRON_EXPRESSION: schedule in which command defined by CRON_COMMAND will be executed. For example * * * * *
• CRON_COMMAND: command to execute, i.e. echo "Hello, world!"
