CronTask

It's a simple job scheduler with HTTP interface and MySQL as Database.

Setting

You can install this server with this command:

go get github.com/khoa-le/crontask

Browse to the guartz directory and install the dependencies:

godep restore

Build the binary:

go build

This will create a binary called guartz, create the a .env file on the root of the project with this content:

MYSQL_DB=root:password@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/crontask?charset=utf8&parseTime=True
GIN_MODE=prod
PORT=8081

And set the enviroment variable:

export GUARTZ_MODE=dev

Now you can run the server:

./crontask

This will run the server where you will be able to schedule the command's execution in the operative system.

API REST

You can manage the tasks on the server by

Creating a task

You can create a task on the server with this rest call

POST http://localhost:3000/tasks
{
    "id": "task-id",
    "periodicity": "@every 1h",
    "command": "docker run demoApp"
}

With this request I can create a task that will run a docker container every hour. You can use any cron unix valid format or use these shortcuts:

Entry                  | Description                                | Equivalent To
-----                  | -----------                                | -------------
@yearly (or @annually) | Run once a year, midnight, Jan. 1st        | 0 0 0 1 1 *
@monthly               | Run once a month, midnight, first of month | 0 0 0 1 * *

@hourly                | Run once an hour, beginning of hour        | 0 0 * * * *

The server uses https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/robfig/cron.v2 library, there you can get more information.

You can stop a task by deleting it or updating it:

DELETE http://localhost:3000/tasks/task-id

POST http://localhost:3000/tasks
{
    "id": "task-id",
    "periodicity": "stop",
    "command": "docker run demoApp"
}
