skeddy

Skeddy is a lightweight scheduler that can be configured to initiate http requests in fire-and-forget mode. Configuration options are inspired from cron. It is a cloud savvy time based scheduler.

Basic functionality

Installation

• Install go packages as follows :

    $ go get github.com/pborman/uuid
    $ go get github.com/robfig/cron
    $ go get github.com/syndtr/goleveldb/leveldb
  

• Clone the project and build it

  $ git clone https://github.com/gophergala2016/skeddy.git
  $ go build
  

• Start the server

    $ ./skeddy [-d] [-i] [-p] [-s]
  

Options

-d dbname.db use existing storage (default "skeddy.db")

-i cronTab.txt import from crontab file

-p port port to listen (default 8080)

-s host-name bind to ip address (default "0.0.0.0")

CRON Table Format

  <cron_expression> <http_endpoint> <payload>

cron_expression should be in accordance to the cron expression format given here, payload is optional and can be raw json or json file from where payload will be read. JSON file should be given as @filename. While using UI interface, you can also upload a file whose content will be read and send as payload.

Usage

Skeddy can be used to send periodic notifications to http endpoints. It has a user friendly UI interface with which anyone can hit my server and add their events in my skeddy. This can be used cross-platform unlike cron (used only in UNIX). Skeddy uses the same format as cron scheduler.

Motivation

Motivation to build skeddy came because I wanted to use the efficient cron scheduler cross-platform and wanted it to be cloud savvy, so that I can add entries to my scheduler from anywhere.
