 You can use the following environment variables (when starting the container)
 to tune it:
 
-- MS_DEBUGLEVEL: The debug level 0=off 5=verbose
-- MS_ERRORFILE: If you want the debug to something other than STDOUT
-- MAX_REQUESTS_PER_PROCESS: To work around memory leaks (defaults to 1000)
-- MIN_PROCESSES: The minimum number of fcgi processes to keep (defaults to 1)
-- MAX_PROCESSES: The maximum number of fcgi processes to keep (defaults to 5)
-- MAPSERVER_CATCH_SEGV: Set to 1 to have the stacktraces in case of crash
-- LISTEN_PORT_80: When running the container as an unprivileged user, apache
-  will listen to port 8080 instead of 80. Set to 1 force listening to port 80
