Some Cloudlog tasks are best performed on a regular schedule to keep things running smoothly. To avoid having an administrator do these tasks repeatedly you can set up cron jobs to do so automatically. Here is a recommended set of cron jobs to get started:

# Update the Cloudlog installation every day at midnight
0 0 * * * /bin/bash -c "<Full-Path-To-Bash-Script>/cloudlog.sh"

# Upload QSOs to Club Log (ignore cron job if this integration is not required)
3 */6 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/clublog/upload &>/dev/null

# Upload QSOs to LoTW if certs have been provided every hour.
0 */1 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/lotw/lotw_upload &>/dev/null

# Upload QSOs to QRZ Logbook (ignore cron job if this integration is not required)
6 */6 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/qrz/upload &>/dev/null

# Download QSOs from QRZ Logbook (ignore cron job if this integration is not required)
18 */6 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/qrz/download &>/dev/null

# Upload QSOs to HRD Logbook (ignore cron job if this integration is not required)
12 */6 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/hrdlog/upload &>/dev/null

# Upload/download QSOs to/from Eqsl (ignore cron job if this integration is not required)
9 */6 * * * curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/eqsl/sync &>/dev/null

# Update LOTW Users Activity
# Update only once a week as data is only provided weekly at ~ 1000z Sundays
10 1 * * 1 curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/update/lotw_users &>/dev/null

# Update Clublog SCP Database File
@weekly curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/update/update_clublog_scp &>/dev/null

# Update DOK File for autocomplete
@monthly curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/update/update_dok &>/dev/null

# Update SOTA File for autocomplete
@monthly curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/update/update_sota &>/dev/null

# Update WWFF File for autocomplete
@monthly curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/update/update_wwff &>/dev/null

# Update POTA File for autocomplete
@monthly curl --silent https://<URL-To-Cloudlog>/index.php/update/update_pota &>/dev/null

These jobs complete the following tasks for Cloudlog:

Update Cloudlog at midnight every day.
Sync to Club Log, QRZ and HRDLog every 6 hours (you could reduce this amount of time, but this function is not using Club Log's realtime API, so keep it sensible)
Update the Logbook of the World (LoTW) active users data every week.
Update the Club Log SCP file.
Update the DOK File for autocomplete. It is not recommended to run this too often, as it is not updated very often.
Update the SOTA File for autocomplete. It is not recommended to run this too often, as it is not updated very often.
Update the WWFF File for autocomplete. It is not recommended to run this too often, as it is not updated very often.
