deploy/autostart_hummingbot_compose

Deploy and autostart a single Hummingbot instance with docker Compose

How to use it

• Make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed.

• To autostart you will need the config_file of the strategy, and the password already generated.

• Important:

  • In this example the password generated is a and it was done in a Mac, if you are using a different OS or you want to use a different password, make sure to delete the .password_verification file under the conf folder and follow the instructions on troubleshooting.
  • 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 just change format_status.py for conf_pure_mm_1.yml to test it!

• Make sure that the compose file on lines 12 and 13 have the correct path to the config file and the password.

• Run the following command:

  docker-compose up -d
  

• Attach the terminal:

  docker attach simple_hummingbot_compose-bot-1
  

• 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

• Remove the line 12 and 13 from the compose file
• Start the bot with the following command:

  docker-compose up -d
  

• Attach the terminal:

docker attach autostart_hummingbot_compose-bot-1

• Create the password and exit the client
• Add the line 12 and 13 to the compose file and start over!
