# Using FreqTrade with Docker
# Using Freqtrade with Docker
## Install Docker
@ -8,13 +8,134 @@ Start by downloading and installing Docker CE for your platform:
* [Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/)
* [Linux](https://docs.docker.com/install/)
Optionally, [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) should be installed and available to follow the docker quick start guide.
Once you have Docker installed, simply prepare the config file (e.g. `config.json`) and run the image for `freqtrade` as explained below.
## Download the official FreqTrade docker image
## 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 is installed and available to the logged in user.
!!! Note
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.
``` bash
mkdir freqtrade
cd freqtrade/
# Download the docker-compose file from the repository
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/develop/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
```
The above snippet will create a directory called "freqtrade" - download the latest compose file and pull the freqtrade image.
The last 2 steps will create the user-directory, as well as a default configuration based on your selections.
#### Adding your strategy
The configuration is now available as `user_data/config.json`.
You should now copy your strategy to `user_data/strategies/` - and add the Strategy class name to the `docker-compose.yml` file, replacing `SampleStrategy`.
Once this is done, you're ready to launch the bot in trading mode.
``` bash
docker-compose up -d
```
#### Docker-compose logs
Logs will be written to `user_data/freqtrade.log`.
Alternatively, you can check the latest logs using `docker-compose logs -f`.
#### Database
The database will be in the user_data directory as well, and will be called `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
```
This will first pull the latest image, and will then restart the container with the just pulled version.
!!! Note
You should always check the changelog for breaking changes / manual interventions required and make sure the bot starts correctly after the update.
#### Going from here
Advanced users may edit the docker-compose file further to include all possible options or arguments.
All possible freqtrade arguments will be available by running `docker-compose run --rm freqtrade <command> <optional arguments>`.
!!! Note "`docker-compose run --rm`"
Inluding `--rm` will clean up the container after completion, and is highly recommended for all modes except trading mode (`freqtrade trade`).
##### Example: Download data with docker-compose
Downloading backtest data for one pair from binance. The data will be stored in the host directory `user_data/data/`.
``` bash
docker-compose run --rm freqtrade download-data --pairs ETH/BTC --exchange binance --days 5 -t 1h
```
Head over to the [Data Downloading Documentation](data-download.md) for more details on downloading data.
##### Example: Backtest with docker-compose
Backtesting in docker-containers:
``` bash
docker-compose run --rm freqtrade backtesting --config user_data/config.json --strategy SampleStrategy --timerange 20190801-20191001 -i 5m
```
Head over to the [Backtesting Documentation](backtesting.md) to learn more.
#### Additional dependencies with docker-compose
If your strategy requires dependencies not included in the default image (like [technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/technical)) - it will be necessary to build the image on your host.
For this, please create a Dockerfile containing installation steps for the additional dependencies (have a look at [Dockerfile.technical](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/Dockerfile.technical) for an example).
You'll then also need to modify the `docker-compose.yml` file and uncomment the build step, as well as rename the image to avoid naming collisions.
``` yaml
image: freqtrade_custom
build:
context: .
dockerfile: "./Dockerfile.<yourextension>"
```
You can then run `docker-compose build` to build the docker image, and run it using the commands described above.
## Docker - without docker compose
!!! Warning
The below documentation is provided for completeness and assumes that you are somewhat familiar with running docker containers. If you're just starting out with docker, we recommend to follow the [Freqtrade with docker-compose](#freqtrade-with-docker-compose) instructions.
### Download the official Freqtrade docker image
Pull the image from docker hub.
