Verifying where to add cron jobs docker-compose + cron

[VGE]

So you suggest I create a separate script on the host. And then call the script with crontab?

Docker setup & cron

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. any reason for this? did you try to copy the cron.sh to your host, add your tasks and run the container like this: cron: image: nextcloud:apache restart: always volumes: - nextcloud:/var/www/html - /path/to/your/cron.sh:/crons.sh:ro entrypoint: /cron.sh depends_on: - db - redis

So example:

0   0 * * 0 php -f ????????? nextcloud_optimize.sh

Why not create a crontab and put the commands in directly? Any advantage of the script? For example:

0   0 * * 0 php -f docker exec --user www-data nextcloud php occ files:scan --all
0   0 * * 0 php -f docker exec --user www-data nextcloud php occ files:scan-app-data
0   0 * * 0 php -f docker exec --user www-data nextcloud php occ preview:pre-generate
