Image: WHMCS | Notion

Using our provided image it's easy to deploy and manage WHMCS on ComputeStacks.

Our image is based on our php open litespeed image which includes support for cron.

Key Facts:

All files are stored in /var/www/html
Cron is managed here: /var/www/html/crontab
- Simply add your changes here and restart the container to activate them
