[Feature request] Run crons within the container rather than on the host's crontab

[cerede2000]

When using Docker, if crontab isn't installed on the host, Cronmaster produces errors when creating tasks.

Would it be possible, in Docker mode, to install crontab on the container side to run scheduled tasks on the host, but through the container's cron?

That is intended behaviour.
I do see where you are coming from, maybe a compromise could be having an extra env variable to tell the container to run its own cron instead of the host crons. Could be a fun addition.

Definitely not changing the whole app to do this, but more than happy to explore an extra feature to enable something like it, as I do see the value in it, thank you for suggesting this

The basic idea for containers being to be independent of the host, especially at the packet level, that would be great :)

Yup, i 100% get it, it's a great feature actually, I have a good idea on how to implement it without disrupting the app from normal users just updating whilst wanting to keep the current functionality.

It's good to have both options, actually!

I'll update the title of this issue and get working on it at some point treating it as a feature request instead!
