To run the Docker container as a service, do the following:
Create a file in the directory /etc/systemd/system with the name freqtrade_docker.service.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/freqtrade_docker.service
Open the file and put the following in the file:
[Unit]
Description=%i service with docker compose
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=true
WorkingDirectory=/home/dcd/ft_userdata/%i
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/docker-compose up -d --remove-orphans
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/docker-compose down
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
After each service config change:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
To start the service at system boot, enter:
systemctl enable freqtrade_docker.service
Start the service manually:
sudo systemctl start freqtrade_docker.service
Check the service status:
sudo systemctl status freqtrade_docker.service
And to check if the docker container is working:
docker ps
docker container logs <container id>
Stop the service:
sudo systemctl stop freqtrade_docker.service
Disable the service at system startup (no start at boot):
sudo systemctl disable freqtrade_docker.service
Show freqtrade activity:
tail -f user_data/logs/freqtrade.log
