    Is there a way to run simple Python scripts on Cloudron packaged in a Docker container? I know Cloudron requires a health check endpoint. Is it possible to run simple scripts without a health check endpoint?

    You could put the app in debug mode, then the healthchecks are skipped. But not sure if that is sufficient for your use-case.

    So just to clarify instead of doing cloudron install --image <image-name> I do cloud debug --image <image-name> ?

    Why not run the python scripts in the LAMP app which is already set up for all health checks?

    Why should I do that if I just want to run a simple Python script.

    Why not? What app were you intending to use?

    You can also run your "simple Python script" in Jupiter notebooks, or with CTfreak which will manage a crontab for you to run it anywhere you can ssh into.

    Perhaps it's more useful to share what you're trying to achieve, and what the script does, so we can offer more useful suggestions.

    So what you want to do is to run a python script as a cron job ? Does the script terminate or is it like a daemon ?

    @sarthak-narayan
    Lets clear things up.
    You want to install a custom Cloudron App, which runs a Python program.
    Correct?

    For example the TeamSpeak app does something similar: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/teamspeak-app
    It might be good to take a look there.

    I am also running multiple python programs in the LAMP app with my webpage as a daemon.
    And even if an app would not have python.. mostly impossible since its in the base included: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docker-base-image/-/blob/master/Dockerfile#L45

    There is always https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/ to make a binary.

    Got it thanks. I am planning to install and run nginx for health check and then run my python script inside it as a cronjob.

    If it is really just a python script, that otherwise does not have a Webinterface, i would just build my own container braised on the python Debian packages and start it in the background through the cli.

    Somewhere here in this forum i posted how I'm running imapsync on my cloudron to migrate mails. Will edit this post once i found it.

    Here it is:

    
    docker run --rm --network host gilleslamiral/imapsync imapsync \
    --host1 old.server.com --user1 old.user --password1 REDACTED --ssl1 \
    --host2 127.0.0.1 --user2 cloudron.user@domain --password2 REDACTED --ssl2 \
    --nosslcheck --useheader Message-Id --automap --dry

    @sarthak-narayan why bother with nginx when you can run another one line python script to serve the health check?

    I have the same question as @robi .

    Cloudron has support for special @service cron type - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#cron . You can just put it in an existing app (if that makes sense).
