Setting up cron job in AIO docker container

[disgustipated]

edit nm, sorry i see now that you specifically dont want to do that. i have no input here lol
my post is the one you linked to, which i was referencing this post. this post details how to not use another container to run a command. doing it this way is the best way. you set up cron on the host to run the command in the container. notice the docker exec command used in the cron line.

Nextcloud Docker Container - best way to run cron job

I found this advice to be the most helpful of them all, as anything else means meddling with dockerfiles and the like. What is perhaps not mentioned very clearly is that this command needs to be added to the crontab of root on the host system. sudo crontab -e Add this line to your file: */5 * * * * docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php /var/www/html/cron.php Close and save.
