Issue 70 make cron hourly #76

Closed corbin-chris closed 3 months ago

corbin-chris commented 3 months ago

Changes:

Make crontab run hourly by default (https://github.com/eastgenomics/Genetics_Ark/issues/70)
Modify Dockerfile to remove a troublesome line in /etc/pam.d/cron, which prevents cron running in container (https://github.com/eastgenomics/Genetics_Ark/issues/72)
Install nano and jq in the cron container for ease of troubleshooting

Test setup:

Built image from cron Dockerfile, transferred to dev environment via DNAnexus
Changed docker-compose.yml to use this test version of cron (version tag 'issue_70')
Ran 'podman-compose up -d' and exec'd into the cron container

Tests:

Typing 'nano' and 'vim' gives help lines - they have installed
The /etc/pam.d/cron offending line is commented out without manual intervention
When the cron run time is changed to the very near future and the cron service is restarted, the cron runs successfully

This change is
