Edit the docker-compose file

To start the bot in dry run mode with Docker, first we have to edit the compose.yml file in the ft_userdata directory

cd ..
nano docker-compose.yml

You can specify the configuration, strategy and all other freqtrade command line parameters under the "command" section:

command: >
      trade
      --logfile /freqtrade/user_data/logs/freqtrade.log
      --db-url sqlite:////freqtrade/user_data/tradesv3.sqlite
      --config /freqtrade/user_data/config.json
      --strategy SampleStrategy

In our case it is practically the same as the command entered on the command line in the previous section.

Starting the Docker container

To start dry run trading with the freqtrade bot, just use the command:

docker-compose up -d

This reads the compose file with the commands and other parameters and runs the container as a daemon.

Checking the log file

To see if Freqtrade is working, use the next commands:

The Docker processes running:

docker ps

The Docker container logs:

docker container logs 97ec7

The Freqtrade log:

tail -f user_data/logs/freqtrade.log

Stopping the container

To stop the container with the running freqtrade bot, use the following commands:

Determine the Docker process number or container name of Freqtrade:

docker ps

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                           COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                      NAMES
97ec7f2352e7   freqtradeorg/freqtrade:stable   "freqtrade trade --l…"   20 minutes ago   Up 20 minutes   127.0.0.1:8080->8080/tcp   freqtrade

Once figured out, use it in the command to stop the bot. You do not have to specify the complete container ID, the first 4 or 5 characters will do as well:

docker container stop 97ec7

Check if the instance is stopped:

docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE     COMMAND   CREATED   STATUS    PORTS     NAMES
