About this tag
The ofelia scheduler tag covers a Docker-native approach to running recurring jobs outside Windows Task Scheduler. The featured discussion explains how containerized workloads can move between machines while Windows-bound scheduled tasks remain tied to accounts, paths, credentials, utilities, environment variables, and drive mappings. Ofelia runs alongside Docker containers and is used for jobs such as backups, cleanup, and certificate management. This tag is useful for readers comparing scheduling architectures, troubleshooting unreliable backup automation, or considering how job ownership should align with containerized infrastructure on a home server. It focuses on practical scheduling decisions rather than Docker alone.
