It seems you created an archivebox user to run it, but the user has no home folder / crontab folder, perhaps a quirk of alpine?

Can you try creating /etc/crontabs/archivebox manually?

Running crontab -e as the archivebox user fixed the issue, so it indeed seems that there was something wrong with the file creation.

I'm closing this as the v0.8.x and above scheduler doesn't use the system crontab at all, so this issue will go away anyway in future releases.
