Not showing cron jobs already created

johnnyaussi opened this issue · 4 comments

Hi,

I installed Dkron as a docker container via this command:
docker run -d -p 8085:8080 -v ~/dkron.data:/dkron.data --name dkron dkron/dkron agent --server --bootstrap-expect=1 --data-dir=/dkron.data

The problem is that the webGUi doesn't show cron jobs I had alread created before installing dkron.

Can it be fixed somehow?

Thanks

How about the API? are you getting jobs from the /v1/jobs endpoint?

/v1/jobs endpoint

I don't know.
Is showing existing jobs a feature that should already work in Dkron by default?
Thanks

I'm going to take a guess here and assume you mean cron jobs configured in /etc/crontab and accompanying config files.
If so, then no, Dkron does not detect or take over jobs from an existing local crontab.

Dkron is able to do the scheduling like a typical cron daemon can, and then some, but it is not a drop-in replacement in the sense that it picks up where another cron daemon left off.

Also, Dkron by itself is not able to import a regular crontab. You might be able to fashion a script that makes an API compatible JSON from crontab and import that, though.

ok, but I don't think it is worth struggling with it. I'll go for the old way. Thanks anyway.
