No, I did not find the solution. I just deploy the application to other machine. Initially It was deployed on a vultr VPS, now is a AWS instance

You can't use a script on a VPS. Instagram is blocking it. Workaround: use ig.state.serialize to dump the credentials et al. on your local machine and then load it on the VPS using ig.state.deserialize. Only the login procedures are blocked by Instagram.
