Manage scheduled tasks

Each application and service keeps its own scheduled tasks. Open a task to change its configuration or control whether it can run.

Open a task

1. Open the application or service.
2. Select Scheduled Tasks.
3. Select the task you want to manage.

The task opens in an Edit scheduled task modal on the resource's task list. Use General for configuration and enable/disable controls, Executions for recent runs and output, and Danger Zone to delete it.

The address includes task_uuid while a task is open, so a link can reopen that task on the list. Existing task links also redirect to this view.

Update task configuration

You can change the task's Name, Schedule, Timeout (seconds), Container or Service, and Command.

Click Save changes after making changes. Coolify validates the schedule before saving it.

If you change the command or target container, run the task manually and review its output before relying on the next scheduled execution.

---

Enable or disable a task

Click Disable to stop future scheduled executions without deleting the configuration or its history. Click Enable when the task should run on its schedule again.

Disabling a task does not stop an execution that is already running.

---

Run a task now

When the application or service is running, click Execute now to dispatch the task immediately. Manual execution uses the saved command, container, and timeout, but it does not change the task's next scheduled time.

Select Executions and open the new record under Recent executions to verify the result.

If Execute now is not shown, start the resource first.

---

Delete a task

1. Open the task.
2. Select Danger Zone, then Delete task.
3. Enter the scheduled task name shown in the confirmation dialog.
4. Select Permanently delete.

The modal closes and the task disappears from the resource's Scheduled Tasks list. The deleted task no longer runs.
