A Linux administration thread discusses whether Crontab-UI is appropriate for production use, with one commenter arguing that the crontab format is simple enough to manage directly. ### Does Crontab-UI manage more than one host's crontab? The self-hosted guide describes it as a web editor for one host's crontab. ### What limitation is mentioned for running Crontab-UI with Docker? The self-hosted guide notes a Docker catch that limits what the app runs. ### What access issue was reported when using Crontab-UI on an Ubuntu VM? A user tried to make remote access work by binding or using a static external IP, but remote access did not work as expected. --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/692/crontab-ui), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
