Customized Scheduling

Scheduling

Ouroboros does not have a native scheduling implementation other than using --interval. This is due to there being more robust/customizable job schedulers being available such as:

• Cron
  • Cron Tutorial
  • Cron Expression Creator
• Systemd Timers
  • Documentation

Example using ouroboros to update containers every Monday at 5AM:

Docker

* 5 * * 1 docker run --rm -d --name ouroboros -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock pyouroboros/ouroboros --interval 1 --run-once

Pip installed CLI

* 5 * * 1 ouroboros --interval 1 --run-once

Using the --run-once arg tells ouroboros to make one pass updating all/specified containers and then exit.
