Can this run on a schedule?

[jglee10]

I am able to get the docker image to run this one time (results = NONE), is there a way to get this to run on a schedule?

Currently, this is not supported in the provided Dockerfile.

The easiest (and hackiest) way to schedule it is adding --restart=always to your docker run command. Every time the checker runs, it will exit shortly afterwards causing the container to exit. The --restart=always will make Docker restart the container after a little bit, though that delay is exponential according to the restart policy. I'm using this, and it gives ~1min between runs.

Alternate ways that would require more work (but are more "correct"):

• Add a crontab into the dockerfile to schedule the running of the checker
• Make the entrypoint to the container a shell script that runs the checker in an infinite loop with a delay
• Add an infinite loop with delay in the python code itself

I've refactored the script to support a schedule if you want to check it out https://github.com/everettsouthwick/trusted-traveler-scheduler
