docs How-to: Persist Scheduler Jobs How-to: Persist Scheduler Jobs 50000 Configure Scheduler to persist its database to make it resilient to restarts

The [Scheduler]({{< ref scheduler.md >}}) service is responsible for writing jobs to its embedded database and scheduling them for execution. By default, the Scheduler service database writes this data to the local volume dapr_scheduler, meaning that this data is persisted across restarts.

The host file location for this local volume is typically located at either /var/lib/docker/volumes/dapr_scheduler/_data or ~/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/dapr_scheduler/_data, depending on your container runtime. Note that if you are using Docker Desktop, this volume is located in the Docker Desktop VM's filesystem, which can be accessed using:

docker run -it --privileged --pid=host debian nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -i sh

The Scheduler persistent volume can be modified with a custom volume that is pre-existing, or is created by Dapr.

{{% alert title="Note" color="primary" %}} By default dapr init creates a local persistent volume on your drive called dapr_scheduler. If Dapr is already installed, the control plane needs to be completely [uninstalled]({{< ref dapr-uninstall.md >}}) in order for the Scheduler container to be recreated with the new persistent volume. {{% /alert %}}

dapr init --scheduler-volume my-scheduler-volume
