ofelia VS lazydocker

To anybody that is familiar with Ofelia: how do you use different log files for different jobs?

I've been trying to figure out how to run cron jobs in my docker containers. Most of the solutions I see are some version of "make a separate container to run your crons". One version of this solution is ofelia, which people seem to like a lot.

If you want to run periodic commands on your containers, have you considered using a cron replacement (ofelia chadburn or maybe docker-crontab?

I found Ofelia but from the quick glance I took at their documentation it seems it don't allow to set scheduling rules from the docker compose.

I'm in the exact same situation. I'm currently trying to get mcuadros/ofelia installed to run as a scheduler within Docker. Here's a sample file for Ofelia to run the photoprism import (jobs.ini): https://dl.photoprism.org/docker/scheduler/

Not exactly using the OS' crontab but if you're using Docker to deploy your Django, you might actually find it cleaner to use something like Ofelia to run commands in your Django container.

If you'd like to have this schedule as part of your docker setup as well look into Ofelia https://github.com/mcuadros/ofelia You can run commands - local (on the host or on the docker container Ofelia runs in - by 'docker exec' in an existing container - by spinning up a new container

# See https://github.com/mcuadros/ofelia/blob/master/docs/jobs.md for job settings!

I'm trying to push some Information to an API on a scheduled basis. I figured ofelia is exactly what I need. A Test with "echo test" as command worked just fine, I could see the output in the logs.No if I try to run a curl command I get the following error:2022-01-27T11:30:09.008Z common.go:121 ▶ ERROR [Job "dyndns-kasm" (b5d84c412e5f)] Finished in "1.014721ms", failed: true, skipped: false, error: exec: "curl": executable file not found in $PATH

I am setting up some Wagtail and my custom management commands to be run periodically on my project's Docker container using Ofelia.

lazydocker [0] is by the same author as lazygit. I'm thoroughly familiar with the Docker CLI, but sometimes it's just easier to use a GUI or TUI for some things. In particular, I use lazydocker for cleaning up volumes or images that may no longer be needed.

I use podman containers with lazydocker. https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker That way my work is a bit more separated. Good tips.

To better and easier manage our containers, I use Lazydocker; For an explanation of the tool and how to install it, you can read my previous article where I explain how to install and manage Lazydocker in Ubuntu Windows Development Environment.

There's the lazydocker TUI for quick and easy status/logs.
