Hello I’m running my nextclud instance via docker (compose file adopted from here ). There is already a container running /cron.sh, which starts a busybox with cron, which starts cron.php every 5 minutes. Now my question is: how to do i add additional tasks? (i.e. ./occ fulltextsearch:index) I do …

[image] dakky: I do not want to rebuild the nextcloud image just for adding a cron task. Maybe you should. They have a Dockerfile for doing this , and with docker-compose, the process is basically automatic.

[image] dakky: how to do i add additional tasks? i just run them as cron jobs on the host. put them in small skript /usr/local/bin/nextcloud_optimize.sh and put this roots crontab. ReinerNippes/nextcloud_on_docker/blob/bab3d3b24a83ec87fcfed9ad230e3eb186ee10df/roles/nextcloud_config/t…

Hey guys, as far as i can tell the crontab entry is done here . So as you can see, inside the container the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/www-data is used and it usually contains one line like */5 * * * * php -f /var/www/html/cron.php for executing the cron.php every 5 minutes. If you want to do any…

It seems to be a normal bash script but then how do you add a task e.g. for preview generator (occ preview:pre-generate)? I do not understand the “exec busybox cro…

Thanks @Reiner_Nippes . I will then use system cron. I use this docker-compose config to run my nextcloud and since there is a docker service for cron I thought I should use that but then that’s not recommended.

I just migrated my nextcloud to a docker setup on a NAS as host system. First I used the second container solution but now switched to your proposal of using a script in the host’s cron service. Yet I have two questions that maybe you or s.o. else have answers to: Do these commands docker exec…

yesterday I was fixing my cron job, cos my deployment is running in docker-compose statement, so yes, as you said, I created a cronjob into the host to call a simple: docker exec -t -u www-data nextcloud-app php -f /var/www/html/cron.php in fact, from my beginner understanding from all about conta…
