I have finally completed [solution which will launch my Kaggle submission and training notebooks with Numerai compute webhooks](https://www.kaggle.com/discussions/questions-and-answers/397468). My previous solution with [`cron` scheduled execution of notebooks](https://www.kaggle.com/discussions/product-feedback/371090) and waiting loop for round opening was sufficient, but on Saturday when I am running also training tasks, I sometimes got beyond 12h run limit of Kaggle notebook (because of long waiting for round opening).

It is based on python Flask server - easy to implement in various environments. I am using free Oracle Cloud Ubuntu VM instance.

So now I am completely switching to “compute” style automation - triggered by webhook.

Hi @svendaj why do you use a kaggle notebook instead of putting it all into the oracle instance?

I am a cheap guy 😉 so when something is for free, it’s the winner. I could not have 4 cores and 30GB RAM in always free tier of OCI. Plus, I have started in Kaggle about year ago and now I have 20 models in roughly the same number of notebooks, so it would not be trivial to run it elsewhere.
