Docker Recipes

Docker allows you to run whatever you want but it is not always evident how to achieve a specific goal. This repository provides a few samples that you can use for educational and experimental purposes.

Cron

The cron command-line utility is a job scheduler on Unix-like operating systems. You can use it to run your tasks according to a schedule. Cron is a relatively simple utility but configuring it for Docker can be a daunting task sometimes. Unless you have a working cron sample at hand.

Try a Sample Yourself

You can use several approaches to run a specific sample:

• Run Docker on your machine
• Use a service that will do it for you in the cloud:
  • Fly.io (easiest)
  • Google Cloud Run
