Running a job in specific time

[LyuboVll]

Hi, this may be a feature that I could not find in the docs/support discussions, or maybe a future idea, but is there a way to run a job and set a specific time interval for it - for example I want to run a job starting 11.06.2026 (Thursday) at 10a.m and every two weeks it would run at 10a.m - so next run would be 25.06.2026. Setting only time interval at 336h means that I would specifically need to manually set it on Thursday, run it then and it will work, until there's an issue or update which will brake the interval, as it happened once - it moved the interval to the same day but around 12hours later. So I am searching for a way to have a configuration that states that this job will specifically run every 2 weeks starting this date in this hour, and any major updates/downtimes of concourse would not affect it's run configuration. Is this possible?

Pretty sure that's already possible with https://github.com/concourse/time-resource as a trigger for you job.

Hi, thanks for the answer. Not really, but there is one good thing there that I have missed:

"This resource is built to satisfy "trigger this build at least once every 5 minutes," not "trigger this build on the 10th hour of every Sunday." That level of precision is better left to other tools".

So the exact scenario I am having is not supported natively. This is fine, I just wanted to understand if it is something I may be missing here.

source:
  start: 10:00 AM
  stop: 10:00 AM
  days: Sunday

should generate a version every Sunday soon after 10 AM (how soon will depend on the check_every, by default it's 5 min so should generate a version every Sunday within 10:00 and 10:05 AM roughly)
