Introduction

This code will provide a docker image that will host cron and httpd. This way you can have your scripts run periodically and post to the publich html directory for results.

The crontab provided via volumes should be owned by root before mounting. Alternatively, building images and adding files should be fine.

Customizing

The script will execute /before_entrypoint.sh if it exists before starting cron or the httpd server.

Example

Sample cron

* * * * * * date >> /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/dates.html

Example run

docker run --rm -it -p 80:80 -v "`pwd`/crontab.txt:/etc/crontabs/root:ro" image
