+# Nextcloud's cron job timer

+This repository contains Systemd service and timer basic units to run Nextcloud's own cron job regularly (as recommended in the
+[official documentation](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/configuration_server/background_jobs_configuration.html#systemd)).

+* `cloud-cron.timer` is the timer starting the service every 5 minutes
+#### Installation
+* `install.sh` script copies Systemd units to their destination, and enables timer.
+
+### TODO
+* RAS
