Wanted change

Can we have an env variable to setup cron schedule?

Reason for change

I'm not sure how to set the frequency of updates. But during update everything becomes very slow, so it'd help if we can change it. It is there in main freshrss image also

Proposed code change

@aptalca so the current way is to use the mod https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods/tree/universal-cron and setup a cron here?
In that case, how does the background update happen right now in freshrss? I thought it's being managed via some cron that executes at some time intervals and updates the feeds

This is the current abc crontab used in the container: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-freshrss/blob/master/root/etc/crontabs/abc#L2

The mod makes the abc crontab available for editing in the config folder, which should be mapped on your host. I don't recall off the top of my head whether the mod will copy that crontab in use to the config folder or just create a blank one for you to edit. But the original one is linked above and it's set to run every 15 minutes.
