 Specify initial mocked api routes specification through volume mapping a folder with a `routes.json` or the file itself to the container workdir (app is the workdir).
 The application will look for a routes.json file in the workdir when booting up.

 If you only plan to use the mock api endpoints defined in your routes.json and nothing else, run the application in stateless mode to
 disable UI and storage features.
