Description

What problem will this feature address?

A cool thing would be to have some kind of "mini-Windmill" / "mini-n8n" in Dokploy, eg be able to run some jobs through a webhook (with some auth token, etc), and some cron jobs, with error reports

could be useful eg to run every day a "gmail email backup" or something like that

  • create a webhook to trigger the run of a temporary container with the arguments given in the URL / web POST data
  • create cron jobs
  • report errors / success somewhere

and possibly use the DBOS lib for that, so those jobs could be "durable" and easier to track https://github.com/dbos-inc/dbos-transact-ts

Describe the solution you'd like

Create a way to host cron jobs / webhook scripts easily

Describe alternatives you've considered

Run windmill/n8n inside Dokploy and use that, but those softwares are not really worth it just for a few scripts and webhooks

Research direction

Start by surveying Dokploy's existing deployment and container entry points, then define how webhook-triggered runs, cron jobs, authentication, and error reporting would fit together. Evaluate the proposed DBOS library and use the issue's requested behaviors as acceptance criteria: URL or POST arguments trigger a temporary container, schedules run jobs, and success or failure is reported.
