I have a number of queries that need to run each night. I thought that I could do the following: cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app su postgres crontab -e ... add my tasks and save ... but, I get an error: postgres@EN-Discourse-Forums-app:~$ crontab -e crontab: installing new crontab crontab:…

The more “Discourse-way” of doing that would be creating a plugin with the queries as scheduled jobs. Check this example: app/jobs/scheduled/patreon_sync_patrons_to_groups.rb main # frozen_string_literal: true module ::Jobs class PatreonSyncPatronsToGroups < ::Jobs::Schedul…

Potentially, yes, but this doesn’t let others who may need to change the behavior of these queries and our servers use something they understand. It is very common to use CRON to run queries.

Can I run a cron job as user Postgres?
