Thank you! Very useful and easy to set up.

Actually, it doesn't start automatically after lando is restarted... :( I have to ssh manually and run service cron start for it to work after appservice restarts.

Ok, I managed to do it.

Here is @jcandan 's script but updated with an additional step:

appserver:
    build_as_root:
      - apt-get update -y
      - apt-get install cron -y
      - cp -f /app/.lando/docker-php-entrypoint.sh /usr/local/bin/docker-php-entrypoint
    run_as_root:
      - service cron start
    run:
      - crontab /app/resources/config/cron.txt
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The only thing added is the command to copy a changed docker entrypoint bash script to the usual place. And here is the content of the changed entrypoint script:

#!/bin/sh
service cron start

set -e

# first arg is `-f` or `--some-option`
if [ "${1#-}" != "$1" ]; then
        set -- apache2-foreground "$@"
fi

exec "$@"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here I only added service cron start, the rest was already there in the original entrypoint bash script. I actually used the same combo for getting the supervisor to work, for Laravel queue workers.
