-> Note: `docker-options` are not to be confused with the arguments passed to the container (`[COMMAND] [ARG...]`).

+Container options configured via the `docker-options` plugin are not used to modify the process a container runs. Container options are the `[OPTIONS]` portion of the following, where `[CONTAINER_COMMAND]` and `[ARG]` are the process and the arguments passed to it that are launched in the created container: `docker run [OPTIONS] [CONTAINER_COMMAND] [ARG...]`. Please see the documentation for [customizing the run command](/docs/deployment/builders/dockerfiles.md#customizing-the-run-command) or use a [Procfile](/docs/deployment/builders/dockerfiles.md#procfiles-and-multiple-processes) to modify the command used by a Dockerfile-based container.
