I was working on a small project to sharpen my Javascript and Typescript skills. Nothing fancy.

I’m running TrueCharts Nextcloud in my TrueNAS SCALE at home. After the setup, I discovered that none of the cron jobs was running. I’m using the Nextcloud News App and never saw any new stories. I didn’t find a way to make the Nextcloud cron work, so I decided to have a cron job that runs every hour to kick the Nextclodu cron job in the Nextcloud docker container.

One would guess that I should have known better with the work experience I accumulated in the software engineering field.
