Stuff to do

Move cron daemon to server
- Schedule new builds when targets are added
- Reschedule builds when targets are changed
- Remove scheduled builds when targets are removed
Add API endpoint for providing builds to agents
Create an agent service that regularly polls for builds

Instead of starting a full websocket connection and everything, the much more easy and manageable solution is using a polling-based system. Builds are scheduled on the server, and agents regularly poll the server for new builds (e.g. every 30s). This would still provide me with more control over builds, yet prevent the solution from becoming too complex. ## Stuff to do - [x] Move cron daemon to server - [x] Schedule new builds when targets are added - [x] Reschedule builds when targets are changed - [x] Remove scheduled builds when targets are removed - [x] Add API endpoint for providing builds to agents - [x] Create an agent service that regularly polls for builds
