container-scheduler

A scheduler for docker containers, made easy. Configure the desired schedule per each container and the library ensures the container will be running at the correct timing.

Usage

To start the scheduler, run the command below

.. code-block:: python

import container_scheduler

schedules = [
    {"container": "container_name_1", "crontab": "*/1 * * * *"},
    {"container": "container_name_2", "crontab": "0 4 * * *"}
]

container_scheduler.start(schedules)

The function start is synchronous and will not return until the scheduler is running. To stop it gracefully, you can send a SIGTERM or a SIGKILL signal.

The library was originally developed to work in a docker container, acting as a scheduler container for other containers (take a look at docker-container-scheduler <https://github.com/yusefmaali/docker-container-scheduler>_)

The scheduling is executed by the schedule-cronjob <https://github.com/yusefmaali/schedule-cronjob>_ library, a fork of the excellent schedule <https://github.com/dbader/schedule>_ from Daniel Bader.
