⁠Simple File Cleanup Docker Image

This Docker image periodically deletes files older than a certain number of minutes in a specific directory.

⁠How to use

You can run the Docker container with the following command: docker run -e MINUTES_OLD=1440 -v /your/host/directory:/mnt/target jfgagnon2/simple_file_pruning:latest

In this command:

• MINUTES_OLD=1440 sets the number of days old that a file must be for it to be deleted. If you don't specify this, it defaults to 1440 minutes (1 day).
• /your/host/directory:/mnt/target mounts the directory from your host machine that you want to clean up into the Docker container as /mnt/target. Replace /your/host/directory with the actual directory path you want to clean up.

Please note, the Docker container needs to have sufficient permissions to delete the files in the directory you mount as /mnt/target. You may need to adjust the permissions on your host machine or run the Docker container as a specific user to achieve this.
