dx-job-controller

Django admin interface for dango-extensions cronjobs

Dx-job-controller is a Django admin interface for managing cronjobs created with the django-extensions package

Main features:

• cronjob management via the Django admin interface,
• defines the execution time of each job directly in the interface, without the need for changes to the crontab,
• executes concurrent jobs using threading,
• retains job messages with each run (log),
• sends emails with log summaries.

Requirements:

• Python>=3.10
• Django>=5.1
• Django-extensions>=5.2

Getting it

You can get dx-job-controller by using pip::

$ pip install dx-job-controller

If you want to install it from source, pip directly from git repository::

$ pip install git+https://github.com/interlegis/dx-job-controller.git

Installing it

To enable dx-job-controller in your project you need to add job_controller and django_extensions to INSTALLED_APPS in your project's settings.py file:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
      ...
      'django_extensions',
      'job_controller',
   )

run python manage.py migrate to create dx-job-controller database tables.

The next time you run your project and access the Django admin, voila! it will already have the Job controller app listed in your admin dashboard!
