+# COmanage Registry Cron
+
+Intended to build a COmanage Registry image that uses cron to execute
+COmanage Registry [JobShell](https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/m4MQBg) jobs.
+(See also [Registry Installation - Cron](https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/voD4Ag)).
+
+## Build Arguments
+
+Building the image requires the following build arguments:
+
+```
+--build-arg COMANAGE_REGISTRY_VERSION=<version number>
+--build-arg COMANAGE_REGISTRY_BASE_IMAGE_VERSION=<base image version number>
+```
+
+## Build Requirements
+
+This image uses a [multi-stage build](https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/).
+It requires that the [COmanage Registry base image](../comanage-registry-base/README.md) 
+be built first.
+
+## Building
+
+```
+docker build \
+  --build-arg COMANAGE_REGISTRY_VERSION=<COmanage Registry version number> \
+  --build-arg COMANAGE_REGISTRY_BASE_IMAGE_VERSION=<base image version number> \
+  -t comanage-registry-cron:<tag> .
+```
+
+## Building Example
+
+```
+export COMANAGE_REGISTRY_VERSION=3.3.0
+export COMANAGE_REGISTRY_BASE_IMAGE_VERSION=1
+export COMANAGE_REGISTRY_CRON_IMAGE_VERSION=1
+TAG="${COMANAGE_REGISTRY_VERSION}-${COMANAGE_REGISTRY_CRON_IMAGE_VERSION}"
+
+docker build \
+  --build-arg COMANAGE_REGISTRY_VERSION=${COMANAGE_REGISTRY_VERSION} \
+  --build-arg COMANAGE_REGISTRY_BASE_IMAGE_VERSION=${COMANAGE_REGISTRY_BASE_IMAGE_VERSION} \
+  -t comanage-registry-cron:$TAG .
+```
+
+## Volumes and Data Persistence
+
+This image does not require data persistence using volumes, but it is often convenient
+to use the same volume for this image as is used for COmanage Registry so that the
+JobShell code easily uses the same database configuration used for COmanage Registry.
+See [COmanage Registry Volumes and Data Persistence](../docs/volumes-and-data-persistence.md).
+
+If you do not use the same volume that is used with COmanage Registry you need 
+to inject the necessary environment variables so that the container can create
+the database configuration file dynamically. See the next section for details.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+See the [list of environment variables common to all images](../docs/comanage-registry-common-environment-variables.md)
+including this image. Since this image does not run a webserver many of the environment variables will
+be ignored by containers instantiated from this image.
+
+If you do not use the same volume that is used with COmanage Registry be sure
+to set the environment variables
+
+* `COMANAGE_REGISTRY_DATASOURCE`
+* `COMANAGE_REGISTRY_DATABASE`
+* `COMANAGE_REGISTRY_DATABASE_HOST`
+* `COMANAGE_REGISTRY_DATABASE_USER`
+* `COMANAGE_REGISTRY_DATABASE_USER_PASSWORD`
+
+See also the next section for details on how to specify the location of
+the crontab file.
+
+## Crontab File
+
+When the container starts it will install a crontab file that is used by
+cron to execute COmanage Registry COmanage Registry [JobShell](https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/m4MQBg) jobs.
+The container will look for a crontab file at
+
+```
+/srv/comanage-registry/local/crontab
+```
+by default. If you are using the same volume as for COmanage Registry then you only
+need to add the desired crontab file to that volume. Alternatively you may provide
+a unique volume and add the crontab file to it (also be sure to inject the necessary
+environment variables so that the container can connect to the database--see above).
+
+You may also specify the location of the crontab file to install using the
+environment variable
+
+```
+COMANAGE_REGISTRY_CRONTAB
+```
+
+If no crontab file is found the container uses this default crontab file:
+
+```
+SHELL=/bin/bash
+PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
+MAILTO=""
+# Deprecated job to run expirations, syncorgsources, and groupvalidity tasks (until Registry v4.0.0)
+0 1 * * * cd /srv/comanage-registry/app && ./Console/cake job -q
+# Run the job queue for CO 1 every 5 minutes starting at minute 0
+0-59/5 * * * * cd /srv/comanage-registry/app && ./Console/cake job -q -r -c 1
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+The image does not run a webserver and does not require authentication.
+
+## Ports
+
+The image does not run a webserver and does not listen on any ports.
+
+## Running
+
+See other documentation in this repository for details on how to orchestrate
+running this image with other images using an orchestration tool like
+Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, or Kubernetes.
+
+**Note that only one container instantiated from this image should run at
+any given time. There is currently no cross-process locking for COmanage
+Registry JobShell jobs.**
+
+To run this image:
+
+```
+docker run -d \
+  --name comanage-registry-cron \
+  -v /opt/comanage-registry-local:/srv/comanage-registry/local \
+  comanage-registry-cron:3.3.0-1
+```
+
+## Logging
+
+The cron process logs to the stdout and stderr of the container.
