Required for cache and media clearing on instances that use local stoorage unless you want your whole harddive filled with cat videos from months ago

Probably the handiest thing is https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/swarm-cronjob. We could have a compose.cron.yml which runs standard, useful jobs. These could be configurable by env vars? Unsure. There could be further compose.$job.yml to swap them in/out if required. Example in

		loomio/compose.yml
		Lines 130 to 131 in 949f952ae4
	
				        - "swarm.cronjob.enable=true"

				        - "swarm.cronjob.schedule=0 * * * *"

you need to have https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/swarm-cronjob running on the swarm first

Saw https://codeberg.org/bath.social/server/issues/6 btw /cc @nicksellen (happens to be open on the wrong recipe 🙃 but maybe useful info above also).

This is the workaround that Autonomic is using meanwhile.

sudo crontab -e
# then add:
23 0 * * * docker exec $(docker ps -f 'name=YOUR_APP_NAME_app' --format '{{ .ID }}') /usr/local/bin/entrypoint.sh tootctl media remove --days=20
23 0 * * * docker exec $(docker ps -f 'name=YOUR_APP_NAME_app --format '{{ .ID }}') /usr/local/bin/entrypoint.sh tootctl media remove --remove-headers --days=30
