The cron expression for every day at midnight

To run a job every day at midnight, use 0 0 * * *. Read aloud it means: At 00:00.

Field by field: minute 0minute 0; hour 0hour 0; day of month *every day-of-month; month *every month; day of week *every day-of-week.

Drop the expression into a crontab, a CI schedule, or anything else that speaks standard five-field cron syntax. The times above are in your local timezone — most cron daemons run in the server's timezone, so mind the difference when it matters.
