AI Failure Diagnosis

Documentation

Full documentation is available at: document

• Quick Start - Installation and deployment guide
• Agent Auto-Registration - One-click task node deployment
• ⚙️ Configuration - Detailed configuration guide
• API Documentation - API reference

✨ Features

• Web Interface: Intuitive task management interface
• Second-level Precision: Supports Crontab expressions with second precision
• High Availability: Database-lock-based leader election, automatic failover in seconds
• Task Retry: Configurable retry policies for failed tasks
• Task Dependency: Supports task dependency configuration
• Access Control: Comprehensive user and permission management
• 2FA Security: Two-Factor Authentication support
• Agent Auto-Registration: One-click installation for Linux/macOS
• MCP Support: Remote management by AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) via the Model Context Protocol, secured with web-managed access tokens
• AI Assist: Natural-language to cron expression, AI-powered failure-log diagnosis, and an in-app AI ops chat assistant (query tasks/logs/hosts/templates, diagnose failures), backed by any OpenAI-compatible model (configurable endpoint, also works with self-hosted/local models)
• Multi-Database: MySQL / PostgreSQL / SQLite support
• Container-Aware Memory: Automatically sets GOMEMLIMIT from the container's cgroup memory limit to reduce OOM kills in Docker/Kubernetes
• Real-Time Task Output: Stream Shell (RPC) stdout/stderr in the Execution Output dialog while a job is running, with reconnect catch-up and acknowledged cancellation
• Log Management: Complete execution logs with auto-cleanup; live output is redacted, size-limited, and persisted efficiently across MySQL / PostgreSQL / SQLite
• Notifications: Email, Slack, Webhook support

Quick Start

The fastest way to try gocron is Docker Compose (builds the image from source locally):

# 1. Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/gocronx-team/gocron.git
cd gocron

# 2. Start services
docker compose up -d

# 3. Access Web Interface
# http://localhost:5920

For production, binary deployment is recommended. See the Installation Guide for all methods (Binary, Docker, Kubernetes, Development).

High Availability (Optional)

Deploy multiple gocron instances pointing to the same MySQL/PostgreSQL database. Leader election is automatic — no extra configuration needed. The Helm Chart runs in managed mode with two replicas by default: Kubernetes Service load-balances Web/API traffic, database bootstrap is coordinated once, and no shared PVC is required. SQLite remains available for standalone deployments.

# Node 1
./gocron web --port 5920

# Node 2 (same database)
./gocron web --port 5921

See the High Availability Guide for setup details, K8s deployment, and environment variable overrides.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full guide.

One thing to note: commit messages are validated by a git hook (commitlint), so use the interactive commit tool instead of git commit:

pnpm install      # first-time setup (installs git hooks)
pnpm run commit   # create a properly formatted commit
