docker pull ghcr.io/notifiarr/cron-docker:main

Example

You must mount a folder at /config/log to capture log files. The other two folders shown here are optional depending on what you want to do. Put crons into /config/cron and put supervisor configs into /config/supervisor.

docker run -d \
    --name cron \
    -v /host/logs:/config/log:rw \
    -v /host/cron.d:/config/cron:ro \
    -v /host/supervisor.d:/config/supervisor:ro \
    ghcr.io/notifiarr/cron-docker:main

Configuration

Available variables that control things in the container. Setting a username and password is recommended. The password may be SHA1 encoded if it begins with the string {SHA}. Read more here.

You can use the abc user however you want. Set its user ID and group ID to avoid perissions problems with your crontabs.
