QUESTION
I'm building a web app where I have a calendar where users can choose a day and an hour in the future and schedule tasks. The scheduled task is a simple function in python to be called on the exact date and time the user has chosen to.
I came across the schedule package but I rapidly understood that it wasn't suitable for my goal as they explicitly stated that it shouldn't be used if you need job persistence and localization, which I definitely need.
Because of my need, I think I'll need to use some sort of OS cron such as the crontab on Linux. The issue is that I do not need to have my function execute every given time interval but only at a given time chosen by the user.
Is there any other solution than crontab? I've seen the python-crontab package but it seems able to execute commands and not really function directly on a Python file.
Any thoughts?
PS I'm using Django and I've already seen the django-crontab package but it seems too static to me as I need to have dynamic cron jobs to add/remove

ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-01 at 23:54A Docker container only runs one process. You need to run two separate things: the main application server, and (after some initial setup) the cron daemon. You can straightforwardly run two separate containers running two separate commands from the same image, with the correct setup.
The first change I would make here is to combine what you currently have as a split ENTRYPOINT
and CMD
into a single CMD

QUESTION
I want to mimic the functionality that Gmail has, where you can choose to send an email at a certain time (maybe 3:34 am tomorrow) in Django.
I looked at something like django-crontab
(https://pypi.org/project/django-crontab/).
I came up with an idea to use django-crontab
to achieve this:
- Make a crontab that runs every minute
- Every minute, check if there are any emails that need to be sent
- Send out those emails
This feels a bit hacky and over-engineered. Is there a better way? Thanks!

Answered 2020-Aug-23 at 21:53You can check out celery and how to integrate it with django. Once done, task scheduling is easy,first add your gmail configuration in settings.py as follows:

Install django-crontab
You can use django-crontab like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
