Tech

ArmaScheduler now runs Hangfire as it's CRON background scheduler. It uses an in memory database to avoid the need of a real SQL database because each job will be read on application start.

Installation

ArmaScheduler will require .Net Framework v.4.6.1 or higher to run.

Build

Just load the project in visual studio 2017 or higher and build it yourself! The build binary will contain all of it's needed .dll files. No need to copy them all. Just copy the .exe to your desired place.
