+### Installing additional composer packages
+
+If you need to use specific mailer transports or other functionality that requires additional composer packages, you can 
+install them automatically at container startup using the `COMPOSER_EXTRA_PACKAGES` environment variable.
+
+For example, if you want to use Mailgun as your email provider, you need to install the `symfony/mailgun-mailer` package.
+Add the following to your docker-compose.yaml environment section:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  - COMPOSER_EXTRA_PACKAGES=symfony/mailgun-mailer
+  - MAILER_DSN=mailgun+api://API_KEY:DOMAIN@default
+```
+
+You can specify multiple packages by separating them with spaces:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  - COMPOSER_EXTRA_PACKAGES=symfony/mailgun-mailer symfony/sendgrid-mailer
+```
+
+{: .info }
+> The packages will be installed when the container starts. This may increase the container startup time on the first run.
+> The installed packages will persist in the container until it is recreated.
+
+Common mailer packages you might need:
+- `symfony/mailgun-mailer` - For Mailgun email service
+- `symfony/sendgrid-mailer` - For SendGrid email service  
+- `symfony/brevo-mailer` - For Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) email service
+- `symfony/amazon-mailer` - For Amazon SES email service
+- `symfony/postmark-mailer` - For Postmark email service
+
 ### Update Part-DB
 
 You can update Part-DB by pulling the latest image and restarting the container.
