Overview

Crontab UI is an open source web interface for managing cron jobs. Create, edit, pause, resume, run, import, export, back up and restore scheduled jobs from a browser, with a clear view of every job's schedule and command, instead of hand editing crontab text over SSH.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers Crontab UI hardened and fully patched, served over TLS with a self signed certificate regenerated on first boot. Authentication is on by default and a unique admin credential is generated per instance, and the service refuses to start without one. It binds to loopback behind an nginx reverse proxy and manages the crontab of a dedicated unprivileged service account rather than root's. Backed by 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • Manage a server's cron jobs from a browser without hand editing crontab over SSH
  • Give a team a safe, authenticated way to schedule and review recurring tasks
  • Back up and restore cron schedules so a mistaken edit is never final
