Ryan's suggestion is a very good one. If you don't need Django-specific commands, you can even write a stand-alone Python script which accesses your database to do the work. An alternative to cron that we use, on occasion, is https://pypi.org/project/APScheduler/ which runs in a container (a Python scheduler like this is also useful if you want to run on a non-Unix operating system).
