# Using Freqtrade with Docker
## Freqtrade with docker without docker-compose
## Install Docker
!!! Warning
The below documentation is provided for completeness and assumes that you are familiar with running docker containers. If you're just starting out with Docker, we recommend to follow the [Quickstart](docker.md) instructions.
Start by downloading and installing Docker CE for your platform:
### Download the official Freqtrade docker image
* [Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/)
* [Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/)
* [Linux](https://docs.docker.com/install/)
Pull the image from docker hub.
Optionally, [`docker-compose`](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) should be installed and available to follow the [docker quick start guide](#docker-quick-start).
Branches / tags available can be checked out on [Dockerhub tags page](https://hub.docker.com/r/freqtradeorg/freqtrade/tags/).
Once you have Docker installed, simply prepare the config file (e.g. `config.json`) and run the image for `freqtrade` as explained below.
## Freqtrade with docker-compose
Freqtrade provides an official Docker image on [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/freqtradeorg/freqtrade/), as well as a [docker-compose file](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml) ready for usage.
!!! Note
- The following section assumes that `docker` and `docker-compose` are installed and available to the logged in user.
- All below comands use relative directories and will have to be executed from the directory containing the `docker-compose.yml` file.
### Docker quick start
Create a new directory and place the [docker-compose file](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/docker-compose.yml) in this directory.
=== "PC/MAC/Linux"
``` bash
mkdir ft_userdata
cd ft_userdata/
# Download the docker-compose file from the repository
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/master/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
# Pull the freqtrade image
docker-compose pull
# Create user directory structure
docker-compose run --rm freqtrade create-userdir --userdir user_data
# Create configuration - Requires answering interactive questions
docker-compose run --rm freqtrade new-config --config user_data/config.json
```
=== "RaspberryPi"
``` bash
mkdir ft_userdata
cd ft_userdata/
# Download the docker-compose file from the repository
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/master/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
# Pull the freqtrade image
docker-compose pull
# Create user directory structure
docker-compose run --rm freqtrade create-userdir --userdir user_data
# Create configuration - Requires answering interactive questions
docker-compose run --rm freqtrade new-config --config user_data/config.json
```
!!! Note "Change your docker Image"
You should change the docker image in your config file for your Raspberry build to work properly.
``` bash
image: freqtradeorg/freqtrade:master_pi
# image: freqtradeorg/freqtrade:develop_pi
```
The above snippet creates a new directory called `ft_userdata`, downloads the latest compose file and pulls the freqtrade image.
The last 2 steps in the snippet create the directory with `user_data`, as well as (interactively) the default configuration based on your selections.
!!! Question "How to edit the bot configuration?"
You can edit the configuration at any time, which is available as `user_data/config.json` (within the directory `ft_userdata`) when using the above configuration.
You can also change the both Strategy and commands by editing the `docker-compose.yml` file.
#### Adding a custom strategy
1. The configuration is now available as `user_data/config.json`
2. Copy a custom strategy to the directory `user_data/strategies/`
3. add the Strategy' class name to the `docker-compose.yml` file
The `SampleStrategy` is run by default.
!!! Warning "`SampleStrategy` is just a demo!"
The `SampleStrategy` is there for your reference and give you ideas for your own strategy.
Please always backtest the strategy and use dry-run for some time before risking real money!
Once this is done, you're ready to launch the bot in trading mode (Dry-run or Live-trading, depending on your answer to the corresponding question you made above).
=== "Docker Compose"
``` bash
docker-compose up -d
```
#### Docker-compose logs
Logs will be located at: `user_data/logs/freqtrade.log`.
You can check the latest log with the command `docker-compose logs -f`.
#### Database
The database will be at: `user_data/tradesv3.sqlite`
#### Updating freqtrade with docker-compose
To update freqtrade when using `docker-compose` is as simple as running the following 2 commands:
``` bash
# Download the latest image
docker-compose pull
# Restart the image
docker-compose up -d
```bash
docker pull freqtradeorg/freqtrade:master
# Optionally tag the repository so the run-commands remain shorter
docker tag freqtradeorg/freqtrade:master freqtrade
```
This will first pull the latest image, and will then restart the container with the just pulled version.
To update the image, simply run the above commands again and restart your running container.
!!! Warning "Check the Changelog"
You should always check the changelog for breaking changes / manual interventions required and make sure the bot starts correctly after the update.
Should you require additional libraries, please [build the image yourself](#build-your-own-docker-image).
!!! Note "Docker image update frequency"
The official docker images with tags `master`, `develop` and `latest` are automatically rebuild once a week to keep the base image uptodate.
In addition to that, every merge to `develop` will trigger a rebuild for `develop` and `latest`.
### Prepare the configuration files
Even though you will use docker, you'll still need some files from the github repository.
#### Clone the git repository
Linux/Mac/Windows with WSL
```bash
git clone https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
```
Windows with docker
```bash
git clone --config core.autocrlf=input https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade.git
```
#### Copy `config.json.example` to `config.json`
```bash
cd freqtrade
cp -n config.json.example config.json
```
> To understand the configuration options, please refer to the [Bot Configuration](configuration.md) page.
#### Create your database file
=== "Dry-Run"
``` bash
touch tradesv3.dryrun.sqlite
```
=== "Production"
``` bash
touch tradesv3.sqlite
```
!!! Warning "Database File Path"
Make sure to use the path to the correct database file when starting the bot in Docker.
### Build your own Docker image
Best start by pulling the official docker image from dockerhub as explained [here](#download-the-official-docker-image) to speed up building.
To add additional libraries to your docker image, best check out [Dockerfile.technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/Dockerfile.technical) which adds the [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical) module to the image.
```bash
docker build -t freqtrade -f Dockerfile.technical .
```
If you are developing using Docker, use `Dockerfile.develop` to build a dev Docker image, which will also set up develop dependencies:
```bash
docker build -f Dockerfile.develop -t freqtrade-dev .
```
!!! Warning "Include your config file manually"
For security reasons, your configuration file will not be included in the image, you will need to bind mount it. It is also advised to bind mount an SQLite database file (see [5. Run a restartable docker image](#run-a-restartable-docker-image)") to keep it between updates.
#### Verify the Docker image
After the build process you can verify that the image was created with:
```bash
docker images
```
The output should contain the freqtrade image.
### Run the Docker image
You can run a one-off container that is immediately deleted upon exiting with the following command (`config.json` must be in the current working directory):
```bash
docker run --rm -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
```
!!! Warning
In this example, the database will be created inside the docker instance and will be lost when you refresh your image.
#### Adjust timezone
By default, the container will use UTC timezone.
If you would like to change the timezone use the following commands:
=== "Linux"
``` bash
-v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
# Complete command:
docker run --rm -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
```
=== "MacOS"
```bash
docker run --rm -e TZ=`ls -la /etc/localtime | cut -d/ -f8-9` -v `pwd`/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json -it freqtrade
```
!!! Note "MacOS Issues"
The OSX Docker versions after 17.09.1 have a known issue whereby `/etc/localtime` cannot be shared causing Docker to not start.<br>
A work-around for this is to start with the MacOS command above
More information on this docker issue and work-around can be read [here](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/2396).
### Run a restartable docker image
To run a restartable instance in the background (feel free to place your configuration and database files wherever it feels comfortable on your filesystem).
#### 1. Move your config file and database
The following will assume that you place your configuration / database files to `~/.freqtrade`, which is a hidden directory in your home directory. Feel free to use a different directory and replace the directory in the upcomming commands.
```bash
mkdir ~/.freqtrade
mv config.json ~/.freqtrade
mv tradesv3.sqlite ~/.freqtrade
```
#### 2. Run the docker image
```bash
docker run -d \
--name freqtrade \
-v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
-v ~/.freqtrade/user_data/:/freqtrade/user_data \
-v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
freqtrade trade --db-url sqlite:///tradesv3.sqlite --strategy MyAwesomeStrategy
```
!!! Note
When using docker, it's best to specify `--db-url` explicitly to ensure that the database URL and the mounted database file match.
!!! Note
All available bot command line parameters can be added to the end of the `docker run` command.
!!! Note
You can define a [restart policy](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/start-containers-automatically/) in docker. It can be useful in some cases to use the `--restart unless-stopped` flag (crash of freqtrade or reboot of your system).
### Monitor your Docker instance
You can use the following commands to monitor and manage your container:
```bash
docker logs freqtrade
docker logs -f freqtrade
docker restart freqtrade
docker stop freqtrade
docker start freqtrade
```
For more information on how to operate Docker, please refer to the [official Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/).
!!! Note
You do not need to rebuild the image for configuration changes, it will suffice to edit `config.json` and restart the container.
### Backtest with docker
The following assumes that the download/setup of the docker image have been completed successfully.
Also, backtest-data should be available at `~/.freqtrade/user_data/`.
```bash
docker run -d \
--name freqtrade \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
-v ~/.freqtrade/config.json:/freqtrade/config.json \
-v ~/.freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite:/freqtrade/tradesv3.sqlite \
-v ~/.freqtrade/user_data/:/freqtrade/user_data/ \
freqtrade backtesting --strategy AwsomelyProfitableStrategy
```
Head over to the [Backtesting Documentation](backtesting.md) for more details.
!!! Note
Additional bot command line parameters can be appended after the image name (`freqtrade` in the above example).
