It is meant to be a better alternative to the classic Unix utility cron. + +Along with the functionality of cron, Jobber also provides: + +- **Job execution history:** you can see what jobs have recently run, and whether they succeeded or failed. +- **Sophisticated error handling:** you can control whether and when a job is run again after it fails. For example, after an initial failure of a job, Jobber can schedule future runs using an exponential backoff algorithm. +- **Sophisticated error reporting:** you can control whether Jobber notifies you about each failed run, or only about jobs that have been disabled due to repeated failures. + +# How to use this image + +This image contains Jobber running as an unprivileged user named "jobberuser". The jobs are defined in the file /home/jobberuser/.jobber. By default, the only job is one that prints "Jobber is running!" every second. You should replace it with your own jobs. Refer to [the documentation](https://dshearer.github.io/jobber/doc/v1.3/#jobfile) to learn how to do this. diff --git a/jobber/github-repo b/jobber/github-repo new file mode 100644 index 000000000..724fa0c5d --- /dev/null +++ b/jobber/github-repo @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +https://github.com/dshearer/jobber-docker + diff --git a/jobber/license.md b/jobber/license.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..91922f433 --- /dev/null +++ b/jobber/license.md @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +[Jobber's license](https://github.com/dshearer/jobber/blob/master/LICENSE) diff --git a/jobber/maintainer.md b/jobber/maintainer.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..bc73df28e --- /dev/null +++ b/jobber/maintainer.md @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +[Jobber](%%GITHUB-REPO%%)
