Proposal: Official nextcloud cronjob container

[rcdailey]

I've been working on a more flexible and simpler replacement to the typical /cron.sh entrypoint task for running cron.php in Nextcloud. I'd love some feedback on what I have so far, and if the maintainers of this repo would be interested in incorporating my work. Your time and feedback is appreciated.

There have been many discussions about cron in Docker. But Docker is not suitable for cronjobs and therefore we do not support a cron image.

The "Docker way" to run cronjob and IMHO the most easiest way is described here:

I disagree that Docker is not suitable for cronjobs. In fact you provide busybox's crond in your official image which is contradictory to your statement.

In either case, what i have works really well and I haven't noticed any functional issues. If you guys don't want to adopt it, that's fine. I'm just offering it in case you're interested. I'll go ahead and close this issue then.

Yes, Busybox contains crond, but Docker containers are not designed to run multiple services (supervisord is a hack to workaround this).
