We built Activepieces to replace Zapier + learnings from last post
What differentiates this from things like n8n, node red, and stackstorm? (which sort of occupy a zapier replacement, IoT automation, and infra automation niche, respectively)

Network Automation is interesting topic, something like event driven automation would be cool. StackStorm is what comes to mind for a tool/resource.

Wasn't it simpler to use Cronicle (https://github.com/jhuckaby/Cronicle)?

Is there a Docker container, or self-hosted app to create and monitor cron jobs?
You can give cronicle a try. It has a web based UI and sone good stats.
- Cronjobs UI Service / CLI

Good Cron GUI
Have a look at Cronicle ( https://github.com/jhuckaby/Cronicle )

How to setup a containerized python environment? Function as a Service or an alternative solution for a Python execution environment.
Firstly, I tried Rundeck and Apache Airflow. They are complete overkill for what I want to do. Then I found Cronicle which is light enough, besides it can pull double duty as a general purpose scheduler.

A little note for those of you trying to run yt-dl & inbuilt title changing with cron jobs.
Would recommend https://github.com/jhuckaby/Cronicle for anyone running cronjobs but would like to have an interface. It has plenty of features, logs, resource stats, and notifications. Plus it's easy to setup.

Centralised web GUI for task scheduling?
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!
