Cron job

[srocerer]

Hey. Nice docker setup, I have used your setup for my local environment.
But I can't add cron

My cron setup:
https://github.com/cheyer/docker-cron

My Dockerfile:

FROM php:7.4-fpm

# Arguments defined in docker-compose.yml
ARG user
ARG uid
ARG GITHUB_TOKEN

ENV GITHUB_TOKEN=${GITHUB_TOKEN}

# Install system dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    cron \
    git \
    curl \
    libjpeg-dev \
    libpng-dev \
    libonig-dev \
    libxml2-dev \
    libzip-dev \
    libc-client-dev \
    libkrb5-dev \
    zip \
    unzip \
    vim

# Clear cache
RUN apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-jpeg

# Install PHP extensions
RUN docker-php-ext-install mysqli zip pdo_mysql mbstring exif pcntl bcmath gd

# IMAP extension
RUN docker-php-ext-configure imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl \
    && docker-php-ext-install imap \
    && docker-php-ext-enable imap

# Get latest Composer
COPY --from=composer:latest /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer

# Composer config
RUN composer config -g github-oauth.github.com ${GITHUB_TOKEN} \
    && composer config -g process-timeout 3600 \
    && composer config -g repos.packagist composer https://packagist.org


# Add crontab file in the cron directory
ADD crontab /etc/cron.d/simple-cron

# Add shell script and grant execution rights
ADD script.sh /script.sh
RUN chmod +x /script.sh

# Give execution rights on the cron job
RUN chmod 0644 /etc/cron.d/simple-cron

# Create the log file to be able to run tail
RUN touch /var/log/cron.log

# Run the command on container startup
CMD cron && tail -f /var/log/cron.log


# Create system user to run Composer and Artisan Commands
RUN useradd -G www-data,root -u $uid -d /home/$user $user
RUN mkdir -p /home/$user/.composer && \
    chown -R $user:$user /home/$user

USER $user

Error:
cron: can't open or create /var/run/crond.pid: Permission denied
