Double check the user A lot of problems with `cron` come down to user privileges. Each user has their own `crontab`, and then there is the system-wide *root* `crontab`. The first issue I ran into with creating a `cron` job inside a container was that Docker created the crontab as a non-root user.

For me, I wanted to run as `root`, so I added to following line to my docker-compose.yml: -```yaml +``` user: root ``` Now, the `root` user will be used when building your Docker image and the created `crontab` will be where you expect. ## 2. Missing dependencies When `cron` calls your Python script, you may run into issues with `ModuleNotFoundError` or `ImportError`, where Python cannot find your installed packages. This is because `cron` does not have access to your system environment variables, including the Python path. You can resolve most of these errors with imports by adding the `PYTHONPATH` environment variable to your `crontab`. This should be the path to your `site-packages` folder, something like this: -```bash +``` PYTHONPATH=/usr/bin/local/python3 ``` You may also need to add a shebang (`#!`) to your Python script to direct `cron` to the correct version. You can find the Python location with one of the following commands: -```bash +``` which python which py which python3 ``` *NOTE*: These commands must be performed in your Docker container when it is up and running. In `docker-compose` syntax this would be the following (with the name of your container instead of `container-name`): -```bash +``` docker-compose exec container-name which python3 ``` You can then add this to the top of your Python script, as follows: @@ -45,11 +44,11 @@ You can then add this to the top of your Python script, as follows: ``` ## 3.
