      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?

        You can configure a cronjob in the "Container" (or better App) Settings in Cloudron

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

          I added it here and then saved it. I restarted the app but I cannot see my cronjob when I use crontab -l.

            Cloudron is not using cron from the system (eg. crond) but has a scheduler built into the main controller process.
            Also those cron jobs are run via docker from the host in a subcontainer of the app.

              You can put something like * * * * * echo "=> Running cron" && your_command . Then, you will see the echo in the app logs.
