    I would like to be able to manually trigger the currency exchange rate updater from the CLI or by passing a url query parameter such as ?update-rates. I would also like to know how to change the scheduler for the currency exchange rate updater.

    Updater Job

    This job could be run via the laravel-job tool, if it was installed or installable.

    @robi the issue is that the UpdateExchangeRates.php job is not built as a command as far as I can see. I tried to create a Laravel command for it but the secure file system prevents me from doing that. I would like it to exist as php artisan ninja:update-ex or the like.

    just make sure to do it in /app/data

    there should be other examples on the forum if you search for php artisan

    I am not sure what you are thinking of. I did a search.
    This is what I get when I try to make a command in app/data:

    root@...:/app/data# php /app/code/artisan make:command
      What should the console command be named?
    ❯ ninja:update-ex
    In Filesystem.php line 190:
     file_put_contents(/app/code/app/Console/Commands/ninja:update-ex.php): Failed to open stream: Read-only file system

    @spacetime The CLI commands require changes upstream. You should report it in their forum or discussion area. https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/ or https://forum.invoiceninja.com/ . We only package the app, we cannot make changes or add features.

    @girish understood. What about the scheduled exchange rate updater? It seems it is broken and does not automatically run on Cloudron. It is difficult to test since it only runs once per day. I have added the necessary API key to the .env file.

    @spacetime You can just run sudo -u www-data php /app/code/artisan schedule:run in the web terminal. Does that not work ?
