+Anonymous access
+---------------------
+To run with anonymous access, ommit the `FTP_USER_NAME`, `FTP_USER_PASS`, `FTP_USER_HOME` environment variables. The anonymous user will have a directory of `/var/ftp`

+You will also need to omit the `-E` switch when runing the container. An example run cmd:
+```
+CMD /run.sh -c 30 -C 10 -l puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb -j -R -P 127.0.0.1 -p 30000:30059
