    Yes, you can add your custom script that calls CLI comands in https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/mautic/#custom-cron-jobs

      You can edit the /app/data/crontab.system patterns as you wish . See https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/mautic/#system-cron-jobs . I agree that mautic's flow of calling cron for everything is suboptimial. This is why the package made the patterns editable . In fact, for processing any task, the mautic way is to run a cronjob manually.

      Will this file stay intact with every Mautic update via cloudron? Because I would then comment them out and completely replace them with custom cron jobs.

        Yes the cronjobs configured via the UI will persist the update. All in all I am still unsure if its now a good or bad idea to provide default cron jobs for mautic or not. Maybe active mautic users could give some more insights on this?

          We have years long experience with mautic 😉

          Its important to help with a default cronjob setup. The one from the docs work, but its not optimal. I will help setting it up in a better way together with you, if you like.

          For now it would be good, if the out of the box setup for cronjobs in cloudron could also be disabled. I did it by commenting out every line in the crontab.system - but will this be replaced again by an update or not? Its in the /app/data directory. So I think it will not?

          I already changed my cronjob setup with a shell file. I trigger this every minute, in case its still running, it will be ignored. I will need to extend it by other optional cronjob tasks - maybe having even two or more scripts. One to run every minute (if server can handle it). And then some maintenance task that don't need to run that often.

          Update - the current version can now be found at:
          https://github.com/twentyZen/mautic-cronjobs

          Myself I'm not a script or Linux Professional. Probably that approach can be improved.

            For instance - whats the php memory limit on cli? Is it the same limit as for the mautic instance overall?

              @dsp76 By default, the cli and apache have same php memory limit - 512M . If you change the memory_limit in /app/data/php.ini , it will affect both.

                    hey @dsp76 thanks for sharing... so if I install this shell file to my Mautic installation on Cloudron, it'll speed up the cronjobs?

                    Unfortunately I'm unable to add an .env file because on Cloudron the app is a "read only filesystem"

                          @jordanurbs you could put those in the /app/data folder which is writeable?
