Cronboard: A terminal-based dashboard for managing cron jobs
- noupdates 8mo agoNice. Hyperland + multiple monitors + TUIs like this make my workflow quite futuristic.
- antoniorodr 8mo agoThanks a lot!
- atomicnumber3 8mo agoVery cool. I would've used this a lot in a past life. It's interesting how many different ways there are to manage cron jobs, too. I've seen: Place 1: Cron jobs edited on the box via vim, and every night they're scraped and off there are diffs, they're committed. Kind of like reverse management. It was actually a pretty elegant solution for the environment it was in, where devs just could not be convinced to not just edit the crontab directly. Place 2: no cron jobs, it's all either airflow tasks or a bespoke managed clustering cron-like thing. Place 3: all k8s scheduled job pods, conceptually the same but somehow less enjoyable. Honestly I liked the airflow version the best, python is just better than bash, and often cron jobs end up developing dependencies anyway. Plus Python lets you wire in many niceties.

- theanonymousone 8mo agoI searched for "cronboard" before making the submission, and still cannot open the link you sent :/
- antoniorodr 8mo agoThat’s weird! I don’t know. Anyone else have tested the link? Anyways, I really appreciate you created the post. It’s pretty amazing that a project from a self-taught developer like me, who started in 2024, got so much attention. Thanks again!
- theanonymousone 8mo agoSlso in your own submissions page: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=antoniorodr https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=antoniorodr Very weird indeed:/
- antoniorodr 8mo agoYeah I know. I do not understand why this happened, but whatever! Thanks again! :)
- antoniorodr 8mo agoI released a new version with cron search :)
