The cron container needs exactly the same volumes, variables and configs (e.g. DB) as app container. in other words it’s like a clone just running another command line (webserver is replaced by cron). more detailed discussion is [here](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/clarification-regarding-cron-jobs-setup-config/134450/2) - try the search function it amazing 😉
