Pantheon cron for Docker

A docker container to run the Ansible ten7.pantheon_cron role.

Configuration

Create a configuration file as described in the ten7.pantheon_cron Ansible role.

Once created, you have three ways to provide it to the container:

• As a base64-encoded value of the PANTHEON_CRON_CONFIG environment variable
• As a mounted file at the location specified by the PANTHEON_CRON_CONFIG_FILE environment variable
• As a mounted file at /config/pantheon-cron/pantheon-cron.yml inside the container.

Use with base Docker

To run the Docker image as part of a script or in cron, use the following command:

docker run --rm -v /path/to/pantheon-cron.yml:/config/pantheon-cron/pantheon-cron.yml ten7/pantheon-cron

Note, that if your pantheon-cron.yml file depends on other files (such as SSH keys) you will need to add multiple -v switches to mount each one.

Docker compose

Create the following Docker Compose file.

version: '3'
services:
  cron:
    image: ten7/pantheon-cron
    volumes:
      - /path/to/pantheon-cron.yml:/config/pantheon-cron/pantheon-cron.yml

Again, if your pantheon-cron.yml depends on other files (such as SSH keys) you will need to add additional items under volumes to mount them.

Once the docker-compose.yml file is created, you can run backups using:

docker-compose run cron
