Selfhosted CRON Server + Webapp

Check out crontab-UI. Haven't tried it myself as regular crontab works fine for my use case, but I've seen this mentioned a few times in this sub
Centralised web GUI for task scheduling?
5 projects | /r/selfhosted | 9 May 2022

Thought I'd post here before taking a dive into this and see if anyone has any practical experience. I'm looking for centralising scheduled tasks for multiple servers, preferably with a management GUI for friendliness. I found Crontab-UI which seems to only interact with the single host's crontab. Then I stumbled upon Cronicle which looks feature rich but looks like multi-server is handled by deploying the GUI to each host. A central server + agents on each host would be nicer. I'm wondering if anyone uses Cronicle, or another solution? Thanks!
