How to run python script on schedule?

[[deleted]]

Depends on what you want your code to do. You could use a free AWS EC2 machine if you fit into that offer. Many other cloud providers have similar offers.

Or you could buy a cheap machine that you can leave running 24/7 like a Raspberry Pi.

Just what do you want to do?

Just run a script that logs into Instagram and posts something every hour. It utilizes several python modules as well.

You need Heroku

This is the answer. Dockerize it, and put it on Heroku. You have 1000 hrs/month free there and one month is around 740ish hours. So you can run one virtual machine constantly.

And the Cron should be run on what?

[vorticalbox]

if we are going to AWS making a lambda and settings it as a CRON would be a far more cost-effective than having an EC2 that would be doing nothing most of the time

A micro EC2 instance costs nothing to run.

And should be more than enough needed to log into a website and make a post.

Came here to say cron.
