crontab ?

[tmccaff57]

I keep getting error crontab not running. How is this done in docker environment>?

Hi @tmccaff57! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the docker-magento team.

In docker-magento, cron jobs aren't managed by the traditional system crontab. Instead, they're handled inside the PHP container using Supervisor, which keeps Magento's cron running as a background process. To start or restart the cron service, use the helper script: bin/cron start from your project root. If you see "crontab not running" errors, it's likely the Supervisor-managed cron process isn't running or hasn't been started yet. You can find more about this in the README.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

It worked for me after initial setup. But it stopped to work after I swtitched php images from 8.3 to 8.4.
So I'm searching where it installed too.

Have you run bin/cron start? That is documented at https://github.com/markshust/docker-magento?tab=readme-ov-file#custom-cli-commands

Hi, @tmccaff57. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the docker-magento team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

• You reported that crontab was not running in your Docker environment and sought guidance on proper setup.
• It was clarified that cron jobs in docker-magento are managed by Supervisor inside the PHP container, not by the traditional system crontab.
• The recommended approach is to use the helper script bin/cron start to start the cron service.
• Another user noted cron worked initially but stopped after switching PHP images from 8.3 to 8.4.
• The maintainer emphasized following the README instructions to run bin/cron start.

Next Steps:

• Please confirm if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of docker-magento by commenting here.
• If no further updates are provided, I will automatically close this issue in 30 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
