Is there anyway to schedule shutdown. As umbrel is server , this should have scheduling shutdown restart.
Hey, you could try this:
Connect to your Umbrel server via SSH and use the shutdown command to schedule a shutdown. For example, to schedule a shutdown at 10 PM, you can use:
sudo shutdown -h 22:00
You can also specify a shutdown in a certain number of minutes. For example, to shut down after 30 minutes:
sudo shutdown -h +30
If you need to cancel a scheduled shutdown, you can use:
sudo shutdown -c
If you want to schedule a shutdown at a regular interval, you can use a cron job. Edit the crontab file with:
crontab -e
Add a line to schedule the shutdown. For example, to schedule a shutdown every day at 10 PM, add:
0 22 * * * sudo shutdown -h now
These commands should allow you to manage the scheduling of your Umbrel OS server shutdowns effectively.
To schedule a shutdown inside a Docker container, you typically need to handle it differently since Docker containers are intended to run a single process and shut down when that process ends. However, you can still schedule a shutdown using the same basic principles. Here’s how you can do it:
First, access the Docker container where you want to schedule the shutdown:
docker exec -it <container_name> /bin/bash
Replace <container_name> with the name or ID of your container. Run docker ps to find the container ID.
Inside the container, you may need to install cron:
apt-get update
apt-get install cron
Inside the container, use crontab to schedule the shutdown:
crontab -e
Add a line to schedule the shutdown. For example, to schedule a shutdown every day at 10 PM, add:
0 22 * * * shutdown -h now
Save and close the crontab file.
Start the cron service inside the container:
service cron start

Yes this commands would work but ,

Unfortunately, there is currently no app or setting that can do this. 
Perhaps the developers @mayank @nmfretz @lukechilds @smolgrrr can add this to the agenda?
