deploy/autostart_hummingbot_compose

Deploy and autostart a single Hummingbot instance with docker Compose

How to use it

1. Ensure that you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.
2. To autostart, you will need the config_file of the strategy and the password already generated.
3. Important:
   • In this example, the password generated is a, and it was done on a Mac. If you are using a different OS or want to use a different password, make sure to delete the .password_verification file under the conf folder and follow the instructions in the troubleshooting section.
   • You can autostart a strategy or a script. In this case, on line 13, we are autostarting a script that is inside the scripts folder. If you want to start a strategy, there is one config file under conf/strategies. You can change format_status.py for conf_pure_mm_1.yml to test it!
4. Make sure that the compose file on lines 12 and 13 have the correct path to the config file and the password.
5. Run the following command:

   docker-compose up -d
   

6. Attach the terminal:

   docker attach simple_hummingbot_compose-bot-1
   

7. Now you have Hummingbot running and autostarted! Remember that you can detach the terminal without stopping the bot by pressing Ctrl + P and Ctrl + Q.

Troubleshooting

If you don't have the password, you can:

1. Remove lines 12 and 13 from the compose file.
2. Start the bot with the following command:

   docker-compose up -d
   

3. Attach the terminal:

   docker attach autostart_hummingbot_compose-bot-1
   

4. Create the password and exit the client.
5. Add lines 12 and 13 to the compose file and start over!
