URL Cron
A Flarum extension. Expose the Flarum scheduler to a URL for use on shared hosting envs
Installation
Install with composer:
composer require ianm/url-cron:"*"
Updating
composer update ianm/url-cron
Usage
When running Flarum on shared hosting, some providers do not allow CLI access in order to setup a cron job for the Flarum Scheduler, but instead offer a solution to trigger a URL in order to accomplish the same goal. This extension exposes {FORUM_URL}/api/cron/trigger, which in turn calls the CLI command php flarum schedule:run.
Currently, there is no protection on this endpoint, although authorization may be (optionally) added in the future as needs dictate.
