I was having issues with my nextcloud server installed through snap where it was being extremely slow on first load. I heard that running a specific cronjob for nextcloud to do background tasks periodically can speed it up. So, for the snap version of nextcloud, I found the command that enables nextcloud's cronjob (details listed here) sudo snap set nextcloud nextcloud.cron-interval=10m What was strange is that in the aformentioned link, it aluded to the cronjob already being enabled, so to check this I ran crontab -l, but to my surprise, I didn't even have cron installed on the server. So does snap have its own version of cron packaged with the installed program that it uses for itself independent of the system cron? Or is me not having cron installed the reason for why it appears that nextclouds cronjob isn't working?
