## Project Setup
1. Prerequisites: python3.6, pip21.3.1
2. Create virtual env.
```
python -m venv venv_linux
```
3. Activate virtual env.
```
source venv_linux/bin/activate.csh
```
4. Install requirements.txt.
```
pip install requirements.txt
```
5. Setup desired username and password in `./env/env`.
```
CRONMGR_USER=
CRONMGR_PASS=
```
6. Generate desired secrete key
```
openssl rand -hex 32
```
and save in `./env/env`.
```
SECRET_KEY=
```
7. Setup your desired location to save cronfile in `./env/env`.
```
CRON_FILE=
```
8. Run shell script to launch server.
```
./cronmgr.sh
```
## Usage
- Open `url http://:9090` in your browser.
- Toggle buttons to turn on and off specific cronjob.
- Ensure to click save button at the end of web page to make changes. Otherwise, all changes will be lost.
- Since cronjobs are simply saved in flat file, multiple users editing at the same time might cause problem.
- Importantly, your cronjob must be saved in the following format to be rendered in webapp.
```
*/3 * * * * #
```
## Kill Server
- Server process id is stored in `server.pid` once server is launched. Simply kill it.
```kill ```
## Project Structure
- This is simple architecture of this project. FastAPI server hosts endpoints on Linux server and user makes changes to cronfile via web app.
