We run SteVe using an Ubuntu VM and start it automatically with the following cron task, with the simple schedule set to run on boot:

java -jar /home/admin/steve-3.4.5/target/steve.jar >> /home/admin/logs/steve-cron.log &

Thanks a lot, but in a container (docker) there seems to be no cron.

@Jeepersfinest recently this change was introduced. i think this is the solution you are looking for. therefore, i am closing the issue.

@Anmirazik i think your issue is not related. plus, i dont see any issue. contrary to your claim, i dont see error in logs you posted.
