where/how to run recurring tasks that today are cronjobs?

In theory they can be run as cron jobs still but executing within the container context instead of as a script. We should compile a list of the cron jobs.

I'd like to convert things to within the application if possible and systemd timers otherwise. The benefit of the former is that it'll ease the path to HA deployments. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/Timers#As_a_cron_replacement has a nice overview of reasons for the latter (and also downsides).
