Why is crontab not working in docker Laravel?

Question

Task Schedulers

There is a job in crontab:

* * * * * php /var/www/site.ru/artisan schedule:run >>/dev/null 2>&1

When run with the command

php /var/www/site.ru/artisan schedule:run >>/dev/null 2>&1

Moreover, the task is logged in /var/log/syslog, but does not work in Laravel.

Answer 1

it worked with the command on the server itself * * * * * docker exec app_swiftcloud sh -c 'php /var/www/site.ru/artisan schedule:run >>/dev/null 2>&1'

Answer 2

Because docker is not a virtual machine, but a homogeneous group of processes. There is simply no cron running and no need to want to do it.
Crones and other schedulers must be outside the fpm container.
Roughly speaking, for the simplest case, run docker run --rm imagename php /var/www/site.ru/artisan schedule:run on the host

Answer 3

Most likely because the php command is not found in the docker container.
Try to do whereis php and write the full path to the interpreter, something like /usr/local/bin/php
Alternatively, log errors and cron runs separately by adding the crontab file at the top

exec 1>/var/log/cronlog.log
exec 2>/var/log/cronlog.err
