Any APIs to dynamically add/remove jobs?

[armond-avanes]

Use Case: I have automated the entire process of installation/uninstallation of my docker containers. When I install/uninstall a docker container, I would like to be able to add/remove its related background jobs (scheduled backups, etc) via APIs without touching Ofelia config file manually.

Docker labels are not an option here because I'm relying on some other docker containers [already running] to be triggered for doing the actual job and I don't want to touch those ones.

I was wondering if there were any such APIs for this purpose, or could be added in future. Thank you.

Sub question for this:

INI-style config

Run with ofelia daemon --config=/path/to/config.ini

Does Ofelia have "hot-reload" ... if some external program writes/changes this file, will ofelia pick up the changes or does it need restart?

i'm thinking, if I create some django application, that would store ofelia configs to a database and offer easy admin for job scheduling. And then also write changes to this file which would be on a shared volume between django and ofelia containers. Would ofelia be able to detect the changes ?

Hi, no, Ofelia doesn't APIs for adding/removing job. However you can find discussion regarding the live handling of docker labels here:
