-----------------
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: GUI Image
The script that will execute automatically is located at ``/config/ytdl-sub-configs/run-cron``.
Access your container at http://localhost:8443/, then in the GUI terminal run these commands:
.. code-block:: shell
echo '#!/bin/bash' > /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
echo "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" >> /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
echo "echo 'Cron started, running ytdl-sub...'" >> /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
echo "cd /config/ytdl-sub-configs" >> /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
echo "ytdl-sub --config=config.yaml sub subscriptions.yaml" >> /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
chmod +x /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
chown abc:abc /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
You can test the newly created script by running:
.. code-block:: shell
/config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
To create the cron definition, run the following command:
.. code-block:: shell
echo "# min hour day month weekday command" > /config/crontabs/abc
echo " 0 */6 * * * /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron" >> /config/crontabs/abc
This will run the script every 6 hours. To run every hour, change ``*/6`` to ``*/1``, or to run once a day, change the same value to the hour (in 24hr format) that you want it to run at. See the `cron tab manpage`_ for more options.
.. tab-item:: Headless Image
.. _LinuxServer's Universal Cron mod: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods/tree/universal-cron
The first step is to ensure you have `LinuxServer's Universal Cron mod`_ enabled via the environment variable. For the GUI image, this is already included (no need to add it).
.. code-block:: yaml
services:
ytdl-sub:
image: ghcr.io/jmbannon/ytdl-sub:latest
container_name: ytdl-sub
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=America/Los_Angeles
- DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:universal-cron # <-- Make sure you have this!
volumes:
# ensure directories have user permissions
- </path/to/ytdl-sub/config>:/config
- </path/to/ytdl-sub/tv_shows>:/tv_shows
restart: unless-stopped
This line will tell your container to install and enable cron on start.
If you had to add this line, you will need to restart your container.
.. code-block:: shell
docker compose restart
The script that will execute automatically is located at ``/config/run-cron``.
Access your container from the terminal by running:
.. code-block:: shell
docker exec -itu abc ytdl-sub /bin/bash
then in the terminal run these commands:
.. code-block:: shell
echo '#!/bin/bash' > /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
echo "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" >> /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
echo "echo 'Cron started, running ytdl-sub...'" >> /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
echo "cd /config/ytdl-sub-configs" >> /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
echo "ytdl-sub --config=config.yaml sub subscriptions.yaml" >> /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
chmod +x /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
chown abc:abc /config/ytdl-sub-configs/run_cron
You can test the newly created script by running:
.. code-block::
/config/run_cron
To create the cron definition, run the following command:
.. code-block:: shell
echo "# min hour day month weekday command" > /config/crontabs/abc
echo " 0 */6 * * * /config/run_cron" >> /config/crontabs/abc
This will run the script every 6 hours. To run every hour, change ``*/6`` to ``*/1``, or to run once a day, change the same value to the hour (in 24hr format) that you want it to run at. See the `cron tab manpage`_ for more options.
