<![CDATA[WHich user for Cron task ?]]>Hello,
I've set a cron task from the app (Dolibarr) panel:
text alternatif

I assume this task is run as root? (or not www-data user)
Am I right ?

If I need to change the user, do you suggest to edit the crontab from the web terminal ?
crontab -e ?

Thanks

The custom cron runner was reworked and should work by default now without adding a specific cron job in the Cloudron Dashboard.
See: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/15337/php-fatal-error-call-to-undefined-method-fetch_all-.

Can you please try it and report back if that works?

Today, scheduled invoices haven't been created due to a permission error on the folder storing them in /app/data/dolibarr/facture/FA2604-0802
Also, I have set the cron job to run with ww-data but it still rotates the log on root user:

gosu www-data:www-data /usr/bin/php /app/code/protected/yii cron/run

OR

sudo -E -u www-data php /app/code/upload/api/cron.php

I have an recurrent invoice created each 28th of the month and yesterday, it has not been created (first 28th after migrating to Cloudron).
So I thought the Cron task was not run.
i've added it on the Cron tab from the panel but the pdf generated by Dolibarr was owned by root user.

By default, the @dolibarr app executes:

*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/php /app/pkg/cron_run_jobs_custom.php

Is your cron job something that really needs to be configured like this?
