Cron does not work, in Laravel 5.4 + Docker

Question

PHP changed from 5.X to 7. In the crown there was such a task

* * * * * php /var/www/laravel/artisan schedule:run >>/dev/null 2>&1

On the previous build, everything worked fine, but now it has stopped

The command itself, if run from SSH

 php /var/www/laravel/artisan schedule:run >>/dev/null 2>&1

works fine.

If you redirect error output from the crown to a file, for example

  * * * * * php /var/www/laravel/artisan schedule:run > /etc/log/faillog

So in the file we get this

 /bin/sh: 1: php: not found

The question is why does cron not see PHP and where to dig?

/bin/sh: 1: php: not found

Obviously, you must either specify the full path to the php program, which you can find out, for example, with this command:

 $ which php

or add to the beginning of the file with a cron -task override the value of the PATH environment variable:

 PATH=значение

the desired value can be found, for example, with the following command:

 $ echo $PATH

ps these commands, of course, must be executed inside the container.
