Hi. I have a usecase for a client where I need to schedule the backup of MongoDB and Cloudflare R2.

My thought process:

1. Create a NodeJS app with node-cron & shelljs (to run UNIX commands) installed.

2. Write necessary shell commands in cron.schedule e.g.:

   1. shell.exec('command to backup mongo...')

   2. shell.exec('command to backup r2...')

3. Dockerize with a Dockerfile that installs the necessary CLI tools to backup MongoDB (MongoDB CLI DB Tools) and R2 (rclone).

I can run the container and it'll work, sure. But I only need to run the shell commands once a day.

Leaving the container to run 24/7 doesn't seem ideal.

Is there anyway I can schedule the container to startup and stop daily?
