Using the Docker task Add-ins
Maestro allows you to automate tasks for Docker at two different levels:
- Server host
- Service
These add-ins allow you to manage those tasks:
Server host
To add this add-in, simply click on the + button on the add-ins menu of your Application Overview, which will show you a variety of add-ins for your application.
This Docker server task add-in allows you to schedule the execution of tasks (shell commands) on your Docker server host. You can set the timing of the job in either minutes, hours, a daily, weekly and monthly time, as well as on demand (under the hood, scheduled jobs are run as cronjobs on your server).
Your run results (success, failure and any output) can be seen in real-time on the job detail page.
Docker service
To add this add-in, simply click on the + button on the add-ins menu of your Application Overview, which will show you a variety of add-ins for your application.
This add-in allows you to schedule the execution of tasks (shell commands) on your Docker services. You can set the timing of the job in either minutes, hours, a daily, weekly and monthly time, as well as on demand (under the hood, scheduled jobs are run as cronjobs on your server). The command runs against the sh shell by default - if the task fails, try using /bin/bash -c 'command'.
Each time it runs, it starts a new container from the service you select, executes the task and destroys the container. Your run results (success, failure and any output) can be seen in real-time on the job detail page.
