Can't define cron job for periodic container start

6

Ok txs.

Have updated fly.toml and Dockerfile accordingly and was able to run a new machine via the fly m run... command

I found this command fly ssh console but can’t find /usr/local/bin/supercronic

curl on the command line gives me a command not found error…

Just for completeness this is the updated Dockerfile. I have taken the supercronic details from their GitHub

FROM node:alpine

WORKDIR /app

COPY package*.json ./

# Added --verbose to all RUN commands on 13/4
RUN npm install --verbose

COPY . .

#RUN apk update && apk install -y curl --verbose

# Install necessary packages for supercronic

RUN apk add curl
