    First you need to package the logic you want to do into a script. I want to recommend to turn it into a django management command (here).

    Test that the command does the correct logic when you type: python manage.py <your-command-name>. After running this successfully the user should have a new post.

    Now you want to schedule that command. This can be done by a crontab on your host device. You could also use django-crontab. This will then periodically run that command.

    You can use library django-apscheduler.

    Create schedule CRON for check each post with status not published, and timepost < timenow. You can schedule for every second. But i prefer to set shcedule for every 5 / 15 minutes. Prevent your server overload.

    Or U can use apscheduler.triggers.date. To set schedule run on certain date

    for posting a blog at a specific time specific date

    You don’t need a scheduling system for this, if I understand your intent correctly.

    Simply only show posts whose publication date is in the past:

    from django.utils.timezone import now


class BlogPost(models.Model):
   published_on = models.DateTimeField(db_index=True)
   ...


def my_view():
   public_posts = BlogPost.objects.filter(published_on__lte=now())
