title: "Configuring Cron"

description: >
Use Cron to run lists at a specified time.

Backy provides an easy-to-use way to execute commands at a specified time.
Adding `cron: 0 0 1 * * *` to a `cmdLists` object will schedule the list at 1 in the morning. See [https://crontab.guru/](https://crontab.guru/) for reference.
{{% notice tip %}}
Note: Backy uses the second field of cron, so add anything except `*` to the beginning of a regular cron expression.

GoCron allows one to configure a server to view the jobs in the scheduler. See [GoCron UI GitHub](https://github.com/go-co-op/gocron-ui).
GoCron can be configured or left alone for defaults.
GoCron configuration:
| key | description | type | required | default
| --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
| `bindAddress` | Interface's IP to bind to. Must not contain port. | `string` | no | `:port`
| `port` | Port to use. | `int` | no | `8888`
| `useSeconds` | Whether to parse the second cron field. | `bool` | no | `false`
```yaml {lineNos="true" wrap="true" title="yaml"}
goCron:
bindAddress: "0.0.0.0"
port: 8888
useSeconds: true
cmdLists:
  docker-container-backup: # this can be any name you want
