Ofelia is a lightweight job scheduler for Docker environments, written in Go, that acts as a modern replacement for cron. It executes scheduled commands directly inside running containers, in new containers, on the host, or as one-off Swarm services.
Use cases
- run scheduled tasks inside docker containers
- cron replacement for containerized environments
- schedule periodic jobs against running containers
- run nightly cleanup commands in a container
- execute periodic database backups in docker
- schedule one-off swarm service tasks
When to choose
- you need cron-like scheduling for commands inside Docker containers
- you want a lightweight, container-native scheduler instead of host crontab
- you run Docker Swarm and need scheduled one-off services
When to avoid
- you need a full workflow orchestration engine with dependencies and retries
- your workloads are not containerized
- you need distributed scheduling across many hosts outside Docker
