adarnimrod/cron repository overview

⁠Cron docker

A Docker image for running a Cron daemon, actually running Supersonic⁠.

⁠Usage

There are possible usage patterns for this image. The first is using it in a multi-stage image build as the source of the supersonic binary to incorporate in your own image like so:

FROM registry.shore.co.il/cron as supersonic

FROM alpine:latest
COPY --from=supersonic /usr/local/bin/supersonic /usr/local/bin/

The other pattern is building on top of this image to run some periodic tasks. The ONBUILD commands will copy the crontab file and validate it. Just copy whatever scripts and install whatever packages you need, like so:

FROM registry.shore.co.il/cron
COPY script /usr/local/bin/
USER root
RUN apk add --update --no-cache aws-cli
USER nobody
