I am writing an open source esports Twitch like project and I am having a problem trying to deploy with deploying a cron job to elastic beanstalk to run a laravel job. Because its open source, I can show you the code :).

I have this job here that will expire events to no longer being live after 5 minutes after the last update:

https://github.com/Glitch-Gaming-Platform/Glitch-PHP-Backend/blob/master/app/Facades/EventsFacade.php#L158

public static function checkIfLive() {

        Event::where('live_last_checkin', '>=', Carbon::now()->addMinutes(5)->toDateTimeString())
        ->update(array('live_last_checkin' => null, 'is_live' => 0));
 
     }

And there is a command that just calls that function in the facade.

https://github.com/Glitch-Gaming-Platform/Glitch-PHP-Backend/blob/c68c03b94f7bd13eb04cdc668eb02cca2fcd288b/app/Console/Commands/ExpireLiveEvents.php#L29

public function handle()
    {
        EventsFacade::checkIfLive();

        return Command::SUCCESS;
    }

So I want this run on that job every 3 minutes, in my .ebextensions I added the following, see job 6:

container_commands: 
  01-no_dev: 
    command: "composer.phar install --optimize-autoloader"
  02_set_directory: 
    command: "cd /var/www/html"
  03_create_env: 
    command: "cp .env.empty .env"
  04_popluate_env: 
    command: "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/bin/get-config environment | jq -r 'to_entries | .[] | \"\\(.key)=\\(.value)\"' > .env"
  05-migrate: 
    command: "sudo php artisan migrate --no-interaction --force"
  06_cron_job:
    command: "rm /etc/cron.d/cron_job && cat .ebextensions/cron_job.txt > /etc/cron.d/cron_job && chmod 644 /etc/cron.d/cron_job"
    leader_only: true

And my cron_job.text contains the following:

*/3 * * * * root php /var/www/html/artisan glitch:expire_events

But for some reason this keeps crashing when I deploy it through EBS. What is the correct way to deploy cron jobs for Laravel?
