Oddbean new post about login | logout Linux question for nerds: why do cronjobs failt so often insode docker containers? privileges aren't the issue is some conflict somewhere between the dock and the host Maybe missing something obvious here #linux #nerdsonly
Not sure but why are you using cron inside a container? Usually the job orchestration happens outside of the that (could even just have regular OS cron run the container)
yes it's cron inside the container (for access reasons) but it doesn't work; I just wonder why it doesn't work? the reason for doing it in container so that maintainers can see the everthibg they need without referencing outside the box pythonised cron jon from inside the container works fine Maybe it's like sitting inside a car and then trying to wash the outside or something
