RFC: Running moodle cron via docker.

In my FOSS solution for dockerized moodle https://github.com/ellakcy/docker-moodle I am implementing a feature that allows you to run the moodle cron script. And I want to know if it is a good idea to run it on a seperate installation that points into the same database and data. any data will be shared via volumes.


For now I build images for php 3.5, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 in apache based images and in alpine based images as well. Each image is perfoming a full database installation as seen in entrypoint script: https://github.com/ellakcy/docker-moodle/blob/b91b6944b1c25154fbdb84d738d543f9b3e454a9/scripts/entrypoint.sh#L177-L181


So I wanted to know if would be a good idea to ship a full moodle installation and share the data volume or would be better just to have php and ship only the required php and modules.

We do see questions about Docker and Moodle and they never seem to get answers.

I don't get the impression that anybody uses it in production. I'll say what I've said before. You're essentially writing an installation script for Moodle and that's quite a personal thing depending on your own needs. I don't think they transfer well.

I added cron in the same container as the application.

So you ship moodle with into is own dedicated cron and use only the volume for moodledata.
