How to Load Idle/Cmd Programs to Server? - georgejr6 - Jun-23-2018
Hello,
So I have a program I'm running on my computer from the CMD prompt as well as Python Idle.
How can I load these onto a server to run independent of my computer?
Is it even possible that I can load the program in cmd or idle format and have it run independently? If not how can I just get my program on a server?

you can use pyinstaller (will need to learn how to use), that will create an .exe file which can be run on a system without installing python.
details here: https://pypi.org/project/PyInstaller/

will this allow me to run the program on a server though?

Yes, it would have to be moved to, or visible from (with exe privileges) the server to do so.

Talking about server then it usually run Linux,the a .exe wont work.
What is your server running?
Usually when i transfer Python code to a server it's for running a web-app.
The i also has a Repo eg GitHub,BitBucket.
Example DigitalOcean VPS have a Linux distro running eg Ubuntu(Droplet) that has Python and Git pre-installed.
Transfer code to server
git clone my_repo.On local Pc i have also build code with virtual environment.
Then
pip install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies to server.At this point i could run a script
python my_scipt.py on server.With a web-app there as more step like eg setting up Gunicorn,Nginx,so other can see web-app in browser.

Im trying to run instabot.py on a server but I need some server recommendations because pythonanywhere seems to be blocking instagram bot py

Are you using the free account?
Quote:A limited account with one web app at your-username.pythonanywhere.com, restricted outbound Internet access from your apps
PythonAnywhere is running Linux server environment with uWSGI and Nginx for web-app.All this is already setup to make it easier for end users.
You can ask if they allow bots.
I like Digital Ocean.
Quote:Am I allowed to run bots on droplets?Digital Ocean VPS you have a lot freedom,start on eg clean Ubuntu distro.
Yes, you are definitely allowed to run a bots on DigitalOcean Droplets.
The only caveat is that the bot needs to follow the terms of service for the platform that it is using.
The freedom also mean that you have to manage all yourself.
Can also look into AWS Lambda for no server setup
Quote:AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers.
You pay only for the compute time you consume - there is no charge when your code is not running.
