Deploy a single Hummingbot instance with Docker Compose
This installs a single Hummingbot instance as a Docker container.
Prerequisites
This configuration requires Docker Compose, a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. The recommended way to get Docker Compose is to install Docker Desktop, which includes Docker Compose along with Docker Engine and Docker CLI which are Compose prerequisites.
Docker Desktop is available on:
Getting Started
If you have installed Docker Compose successfully, the docker-compose command should be available in Terminal/Bash:
docker-compose
Usage: docker compose [OPTIONS] COMMAND
Clone this repo or copy the docker-compose.yml file to a directory on your machine where you want to store your Hummingbot files. This is where your encrypted keys, scripts, trades, and log files will be saved.
Apple M1/M2 and other ARM machines**: If you are using an Mac with Apple Silicon M1/M2 chipset, use an IDE like VSCode to edit the `docker-compose.yml file
From that directory, run the following command to pull the image and start the instance:
docker-compose up -d
You should see the following output:
[+] Running 1/1
⠿ Container simple_hummingbot_compose-bot-1 Started
After it has started, attach to the instance:
docker attach simple_hummingbot_compose-bot-1
If installation was successful, you should see the Hummingbot welcome screen:
