New Plugin request -- Cronicle

niemer · Feb 23rd 2024

I've been using this for my cron jobs and it's been awesome, the log history and status alerts are really great. It makes setting up some of the more complex jobs really easy. I thought it might be a nice addition to omv-extras.

Cronicle

Looks abit like netdata.

If its on docker than im pretty sure ryecoaaron would not add it as its just more work for nothing.

I'll install this.

I think someone created a docker container, but only for single server instances, there's quite a bit of functionality lost in docker when I tried it.

I don't use it in docker, I have it installed on the host.

It does look interesting. While it would be preferred to run cronicle in a docker container, I think it would limit it greatly. Running it outside of a container will install a lot of packages on the host OS though (although I see there is a script to put everything in /opt/cronicle). I've also tried to get away from creating plugins that just open another web interface but I will look at it a little more.

Sure, it is pretty easy to install on the host, but there are a few extra steps required with node.js

This is how I do it for the master node.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.…cle/master/bin/install.js | node

cp /opt/cronicle/bin/cronicled.init /etc/init.d/cronicled

chmod 775 /etc/init.d/cronicled

update-rc.d cronicled defaults

/opt/cronicle/bin/control.sh setup

## this step might not be necessary

cd /opt/cronicle/

npm run boot

If node has to be installed from a non-debian repo, then the plugin idea is out. I don't even like installing node from the Debian repos because it installs so many packages. I thought it would put everything including node in the /opt directory.

Alright, no problem. Thanks for considering it.
