My Jobs

My Jobs is a feature in OSC that lets you create and schedule background Python jobs that run on a cron schedule. Instead of managing your own infrastructure, OSC provisions an ephemeral job runner for each execution and cleans it up automatically when the job completes.

What You Can Do

  • Create scheduled background jobs from a Git repository (including private OSC Gitea repos)
  • Set any cron expression as the schedule
  • Trigger a job immediately with a single API call
  • Suspend a job without deleting it, and resume it later
  • Bind a parameter store to a job so its contents are injected as environment variables at runtime

Prerequisites

  • An OSC account on a paid plan (Personal, Professional, or Business)
  • A Personal Access Token (PAT) for authentication — create one at app.osaas.io/dashboard/tokens
  • A Python job in a Git repository (public or OSC Gitea)

Using the Web Console

My Jobs is accessible from the top-level Jobs tab in the My Apps section:

  1. Navigate to My Apps in the OSC dashboard
  2. Click the Jobs tab (alongside the Apps tab)
  3. All scheduled jobs across your workspace are listed here, regardless of which app they belong to
  4. Click Create job to add a new scheduled job. The create form includes a Parameter store selector (optional) — choose an existing parameter store instance to inject its values as environment variables when the job runs. Use the action buttons to run, suspend, or delete an existing job.

How It Works

When a scheduled job is due, deploy-manager spins up an ephemeral eyevinn-python-job-runner instance, passes your source URL and worker command, and tears it down after execution. Credentials for private OSC Gitea repositories are resolved at trigger time — they are never stored in the job definition.

API Reference

All endpoints require a PAT passed as Authorization: Bearer <pat> in the x-pat-jwt header.

Base URL: https://deploy.svc.prod.osaas.io

List jobs

curl -s -H "x-pat-jwt: Bearer $PAT" \
  https://deploy.svc.prod.osaas.io/myjobs

Create a job

curl -s -X POST \
  -H "x-pat-jwt: Bearer $PAT" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "dailysync",
    "cronSchedule": "0 9 * * 1-5",
    "sourceUrl": "https://github.com/myorg/myrepo",
    "workerCmd": "python jobs/sync.py",
    "configService": "my-param-store"
  }' \
  https://deploy.svc.prod.osaas.io/myjobs
Field Required Description
name Yes Alphanumeric identifier (no hyphens or underscores)
cronSchedule Yes Standard 5-field cron expression (e.g. 0 9 * * 1-5)
sourceUrl Yes URL of the Git repository containing your Python script
workerCmd No Command to run (defaults to the runner's built-in entrypoint)
configService No Name of a Parameter Store service instance whose values are injected as environment variables at runtime

Get a job

curl -s -H "x-pat-jwt: Bearer $PAT" \
  https://deploy.svc.prod.osaas.io/myjobs/dailysync

Trigger an immediate run

curl -s -X POST \
  -H "x-pat-jwt: Bearer $PAT" \
  https://deploy.svc.prod.osaas.io/myjobs/dailysync/run

Suspend a job (disable without deleting)

curl -s -X POST \
  -H "x-pat-jwt: Bearer $PAT" \
  https://deploy.svc.prod.osaas.io/myjobs/dailysync/suspend

Resume a suspended job

curl -s -X POST \
  -H "x-pat-jwt: Bearer $PAT" \
  https://deploy.svc.prod.osaas.io/myjobs/dailysync/resume

Delete a job

curl -s -X DELETE \
  -H "x-pat-jwt: Bearer $PAT" \
  https://deploy.svc.prod.osaas.io/myjobs/dailysync
