#CRONJobs

My homelab got it's final touches. I finally removed #Nextcloud and switched completely to #Stalwart, i added automatic #database backups using #cronjobs for all my #databases, i've set up most of my publicly exposed services to run behind the #cloudflare #proxy, improved the directory structure for my #docker #containers, and finally set up pihole as the #dns server on my router. This feels so good.

Cron has been silently running the worldโ€™s Unix and Linux systems since the 1970s. It schedules tasks like log rotations, backups, and system updates using nothing more than a plain text file and a precise time expression. There is no splashy interface, just quiet reliability. Mastering cron means bending time to your will, whether you are automating daily tasks or executing timed scripts that keep an entire infrastructure humming.

For the hundredth time, audio on #Linux is complex, especially when you attempt to set it up for #cronjobs on a headless server.

@jzik @opensuse nice.

This is even better to read than #cronjobs!

@train First, i uninstalled #casaos, since i really wanted to do it on my own. I installed #NginxProxyManager alongside all my services, and configured one after one with ssl, subdomains etc. I also got rid of systemd services for my python scripts and replaced them with #cronjobs. Since i am very bad at networking, i'm pretty proud of the result.

@mekuso

The #Docker container is running constantly because the bot constantly runs checks. However, I want the bot to generate some stuff for me, which I can totally do manually once a week, but where is the fun in that?

So I thought, why not add #cronjobs to the container, allow it to run automatically in parallel with the bot without requiring additional containers.

Also, the credentials are in a .ENV, so having the jobs running in the same environment is easier, than running an entirely different config.

Is the best way to run periodic functions, not necessary time-critical, just needs to happen in the correct hour or day, #cronjobs

I am running a #Python bot in a #Docker container, but want weekly or daily things to happen. Adding this to the main loop seems inefficient, because checks will unnecessary be done.

Should I rather use a #Linux image, run the script in the container and then just have cronjobs running in the container, rather than using a Python image.

Storage, memory and processing isn't actually a problem, so using a larger and beefier image is possible.
