<![CDATA[How to add a cronjob in cloudron]]>Hi,

When I try to add a cronjob using the command

echo "0 22 * * * curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/refresh_webhook >> /var/log/cron.log 2>&1" | crontab -

I get the error /var/spool/cron/: mkstemp: Read-only file system.
How can I add a cronjob inside the container in cloudron?

Then, you will see the echo in the app logs.

Also those cron jobs are run via docker from the host in a subcontainer of the app.

Look here -> https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#cron
