I recently needed to write a Python script that fetches data periodically from an external API and maintains it in a local txt file. I plan to host this script on my virtual hosting at lolipop.jp and run it every ten minutes through cron. However, after deploying it, the script has not been producing any output. Below is the method for deploying a Python script on the virtual hosting at lolipop.jp without using SSH.

As mentioned in a previous blog post, my current project is deployed using Docker. However, during a recent login to the server, a strange phenomenon occurred: all the containers in Docker would restart from time to time.

The auto-renew script failed to renew it — this happened a couple of times, I need to login into the web panel and renew it manually every three months. Unfortunately, the web panel malfunctioned this time either. After an epic battle with cert-bot, Nginx, and even the web panel I used, I finally gave up and decided to switch to another self-hosting solution.

Lolipop by GMO cloud is the hosting service I’m using. The hosting plan includes email hosting services, but the webmail interface is in Japanese with limited functions provided, so I installed my own Roundcube instance instead.

I went back home last month and put my Charge HR in a corner since then. But when I prepare to wear it these days, I found my Charge HR shows a battery symbol with an exclamation mark on the screen. It cannot display dashboard as usual, neither can I connect that device from my smartphone. My smart band was fully charged, so this issue was not caused by lack of power.
