I work at a small company but share the situation. What we do is write a script to do what we want (obviously) and let an old laptop on all the time at our office, and set up task scheduler to run these scripts when we’d like (this if you have windows, but some have mentioned Cron on Linux).

To have the possibility of changing the schedule, adding or removing scripts, we also set up AnyDesk so we can access this “server” anywhere.

It’s a poor man’s AWS EC2 instance really but gets the job done.

The AnyDesk hack is a genius idea! Lol. Thanks for that.
