ofelia VS gotty

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.

gotty + lnav

My bootstrap script ends in launching AutoGPT with GoTTY https://github.com/sorenisanerd/gotty

Setup GoTTY and allow it to run a single script only that will restart VPS. Assign password to GoTTY and give it to only trusted people to use. No need for them to install anything since GoTTY is basically "terminal in browser"

First, I suggest you to use forked GoTTY version since original one in your post wasn't updated for more than 6 years.

GoTTY. You dont need to know Golang, just download binary from release section for your platform

Honestly graylog/loki is only worth it if you want to have automatic processing/stats generation/graphing and complex log management rules. If you just want to read logs in a web interface I suggest either frontail (very basic, a bit too much for my taste) or lnav (I use this 99% of the time, over SSH) + gotty to access a terminal/lnav from a web browser - be careful to secure it properly as it basically gives shell access to your server.

Write a script(s) (docker container plex restart) that you will allow to run via web and point to it gotty, so users will run it as they are in terminal. (Just don't forget to set GOTTY_CREDENTIAL on an exposed link).

I created a custom image from https://github.com/sorenisanerd/gotty with lnav in order to view application logs in a browser. The Dockerfile and docker compose I used are below. I created symbolic links to the apps I am interested in into a single directory and mounted it to /docker/logs in the container. Thought I would share if someone else is looking for a lightweight solution to consolidate and view logs in a browser.

Having trouble with ssh? No problem, browser is all what people need, just run GoTTY and get full (or read only) access to any terminal in multiple tabs in web browser, as much as you need.

sorenisanerd/gotty: Share your terminal as a web application
