dockerfile-apt-mirror's Issues

Changing the cron line

Hi there,
Thank you for putting this repository out there. I tried to implement this on my Synology NAS using docker but ran into a few problems.

Debugging the issue became problematic (corn job didn't run but didn't return any errors).
I'd suggest changing this line to append the file (you'll need to touch it first though) and also redirect stderr to stdout.
echo "0 3 * * * root /usr/bin/apt-mirror > /var/spool/apt-mirror/cron.log" > cron.d/apt-mirror

I ended up with a line like:
echo -e "0 3 * * * /usr/bin/apt-mirror >> /var/spool/apt-mirror/cron.log 2>&1\n" > apt-mirror

This brought up my next error - when the task ran - I got the error /bin/sh: 1: root: not found

Which means (at least for my scenario) I need to remove the user. I haven't tried it on any other docker hosts.

Were you able to run this without editing files in the container?

I didn't want to submit a PR in case this worked on your setup.

Also I think I needed to run crontab on the file to get it to register the corn job.

Thanks again!
