Fixes: #578

Remaining TODOs:

  • figure out which python scheduler to use
    • huey (my current favorite)
    • celery (ugh...)
    • APScheduler (will require lots of manual models and concurrency control code)
    • yacron (not sure if it can be configured dynamically)
    • dramatiq (doesn't support sqlite)
  • decide whether to continue supporting system crontab at all, or tear it out (imo we should just tear it out and move to using an internal scheduler)
  • fork the scheduled task worker off the server process automatically on startup, so no need to run separate archivebox schedule --foreground process manually
  • figure out how to enforce "at least once" or "at most once" concurrency model for scheduled tasks

Is this still alive? I'm looking for something similar, I would be ready to implement it if original author gave up on PR.

This is still alive but very slow moving. If you need an immediate solution I recommend building a quick and dirty GUI to modify the scheduler cron config directly or call out to the archivebox schedule CLI.

Any updates on this? IMHO this feature, even though it's mostly a UX improvement rather than a pure programmatic change could greatly improve ArchiveBox's utility.

Yes, I have a branch in progress to add django-huey-monitor, and huey has support for dynamically scheduling periodic tasks via admin UI.

Going to close this PR as the new django-huey-monitor / Celery based system I'm adding uses a totally different approach to handle scheduling tasks, and much of the UI we get for free.
