Command Scheduling
Some of the commands, such as koel:scan and koel:prune, can be scheduled to run at regular intervals.
Koel uses Laravel’s built-in scheduler to manage this.
In order to set up the scheduler, you need to add the following cron entry to your server:
* * * * * cd /path-to-koel-installation && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
This will run the scheduler every minute, which will then run any scheduled commands as needed.
By default, koel:scan, koel:prune, and koel:podcasts:sync are set to run every day at midnight.
Though you can still manually set up cron jobs for individual commands, the scheduler is the recommended approach to command scheduling in Koel, as it will automatically cover any commands that may be added in the future.
