After deleting the containers and volumes and trying again, this error is gone.

Unfortunately I do not have the hashes of the docker containers that were used at the time the error occurred.

Yea this happens occasionally for me too, but it always works when I try again. Might try a different cron lib

[davidfiala]

Hmm.

I didn't choose the cron library though. I didn't even know rybbit had one.

Isn't this worth investigating/keeping open? 😕

I worry it could break again.
