Crontainer is inteded to be a replacement for cron to be used in a Docker image. It does not need root privileges, which makes it work for example on Openshift.
Work is heavily in progress. This is how it should work when it's "finished".
The configuration file will be in YAML:
logfile: /dev/stdout
tasks:
- schedule: '*/5 * * * * *'
type: command
command:
command: 'echo "First task"'
- schedule: '*/10 * * * * *'
type: command
command:
command: 'echo "Second task"'And this is how the call will look like:
crontainer -c crontainer.yml
The tool is built to run inside a Docker container. This is how you use it:
docker run -v $(pwd)/examples/crontainer.yml:/etc/crontainer.yml neckhair/crontainer
Dependencies are managed with dep. Just run dep ensure or make vendor to install all dependencies.
There is a make file for the most common tasks:
# install dependencies
$ make vendor
# run tests and build binary
$ make all
# create docker image
$ make dockerThis project is licensed under the terms of the MIT license.
