If you are running this script locally, my recommendation is to run it manually once, before turning on the cron job: The first run will be significantly slower than subsequent runs, and that will help you prevent overlapping during that first run.

### 4) Run this script from a container
This script is also available in a pre-packaged container, [mastodon_get_replies](https://github.com/nanos/mastodon_get_replies/pkgs/container/mastodon_get_replies).
1. Pull the container from `ghcr.io`, using Docker or your container tool of choice: `docker pull ghcr.io/nanos/mastodon_get_replies:latest`
2. Run the container, passing the command line arguments like running the script directly: `docker run -it ghcr.io/nanos/mastodon_get_replies:latest --access-token=<TOKEN> --server=<SERVER>`
The same rules for running this as a cron job apply to running the container, don't overlap any executions.
An example Kubernetes CronJob for running the container is included in the [`examples`](https://github.com/nanos/mastodon_get_replies/tree/main/examples) folder.
