Running a daily script on the server
1
Hi all!
For my payload cloud app I need to run a script once daily.
What would be the best way to go about doing this? Note that it needs
ts-nodeto run.
Thanks in advance!
You can use node-cron to achieve this.
https://github.com/kelektiv/node-cronYou can see an example here:

https://github.com/payloadcms/public-demo/tree/master/src/cronNote: On Pro tier, there are 2 instances of your app. In this case, you may need to do some extra logic to ensure that only one instance runs the cron.
