@jacobvosmaer Maybe you can look?

Added 1 commit:

• c7974dd4 - Remove not-required mkfifo and pre-create logs directory

Would cron settings be preserved when you do containery things with the container?

Not sure yet. I'll take a look.

@ayufan I think not. Only if the path is mounted and I think cron files are stored somewhere in /var/cron(or something like that, cannot remember the exact path) . But this shouldn't matter because once you boot up a new container reconfigure runs and it will add the cron tasks again, right?

@marin Nope. The cron tasks are not automatically added by reconfigure. In documentation we advise users to create own crontab entry.

@ayufan Ok
