#2I get that this is not Vixie cron and has a little syntactic sugar for executing commands in Docker containers, but I'm not sure what else it offers, and I'm really going to need a very good reason to consider replacing a thoroughly battle-tested crond with anything, new or otherwise.
I don't see that here. What am I missing?

#3I'd be careful with that name/reference. Without implying any bad intent, naming your job scheduler after a female office assistant that being made fun of for being obese isn't a good idea. If the project gets attention, this will get attention.

Well, where you see a "female office assistant that being made fun of for being obese", Ofelia is no more than a nice character from a very famous Spanish comic, "Mortadelo y Filemón".

Huh, I thought Ophelia from Hamlet.

What a time to be alive.
Who is this person you speak of? Google doesn't seem to know anything about a fat office assistant named Ofelia.

It is referenced in the last line of the readme.

As explained in the README, is a character from Mortadelo and Filemon[1], she is a office manager and I though that was a good simile to a job scheduler, obviously the intent is not make fun of the fat that she is fat.

I created Ofelia, being getting Vixie crond inside of a container is a nightmare (at least when I started the project, 1 year ago), with Ofelia is simply tasks.

#10I'm currently doing scheduled Docker containerized tasks via Airflow. Though the setup is a bit more complex at first, working in DAGs also simplifies my code when one task depends on one or more before it. Is this intended to compete with a setup like that?
