After you let gunbot running in pm2, just exit the SSH and gunbot will still running on the VPS,

+1 for pm2 and a yaml config. I'll be using this instead of tmux I think.

Yep, I think pm2 is better than tmux. PM2 can restart the pair once they exit unexpectly.

Hi,
I followed the instructions, and I managed to install everything required and to download, unzip and set the running for Gunbot.
- However, I could not connect using ssh (ssh VPS IP). What does it refer to as 'vps ip'?
- Further, where should I include my API key and password for Poloniex?
Thanks!

VPS IP, I think you can contact your vps provider.
You can use nano to edit the config file, then write your api in it.

Damn, Linux really sux! 

And also this guide isn't complete!
There is even no config file to choose from and what to do there? (thinks the new user)

I had to really think and could only draw from my knowledge with windows.
and could only use those nice config files I already created with it.

You really should include the standart ones!

You didn't include how to control the bots.
Also how to stop this stupid pm2 program now.
I can't even get back to command line now.

Please add those things asap. 

Sorry about it.

Config file can be generate using the following bash script. Save as xx.sh then work.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash

echo "apps:"
for pair in `ls *-config.js | sed "s/\-config.js//g"`
do
        echo "  - script : stepgain.js"
        echo "    name : '$pair'"
        echo "    args : '$pair'"
done

This can help you to generate a stepgain config file.

Code: [Select]

bash xx.sh > gunbot.yaml Then should work.

To control the bot,

Code: [Select]

pm2 start/stop/restart BTC_ETH, to exit from monit,

Code: [Select]

Ctrl + c
Good luck

Beginners & Help / [TUT] How to running GUNBOT in Linux

Hi there, today I will show you guys how to running GUNBOT in Linux.
After this guide, I have faith that you can run GUNBOT in Linux without any problem.

Host and GUNBOT version

DigitalOcean  16.04.2 x64 (512MB)
GUNBOT        Beta 2.0.4 - Linux (x64)
NodeJS          v6.10.2
PM2              2.4.4

How to connect to the server

Windows User

For Windows User, I recommend to use putty as a SSH client, which can let you connect to your server. You can download it from here:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html



Just download putty and it should work~



Paste you VPS IP in the hostname field, then click Open, then enter your password(sent by Email(DigitalOcean))

After that you will has access to your VPS now.

Linux User

I believe that there is nothing you need to do, because you have SSH installed by default.



Just type the following line in your terminal, noted that you should replace 123.123.123.123 to your VPS IP

Code: [Select]

ssh 123.123.123.123
Now we are connecting to the server, time for the next move.

Install the packages that the GUNBOT needed

To run GUNBOT on the background, I'd perfer to use pm2, so we may need NodeJS to run pm2.
Don't worry, Just follow my lead~

Installing NodeJS

Type in your terminal

Code: [Select]

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash
Then run

Code: [Select]

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"


After that, run

Code: [Select]

nvm install --lts


When you see this, which mean we have NodeJS installed.

Installing pm2

pm2 is an awesome process manager for NodeJS, also we can use it to run GUNBOT

Code: [Select]

npm install -g pm2
Installing unzip

Code: [Select]

apt install unzip


Let get GUNBOT running

To start with, we need to downlaod the bot first. Then we need to unzip it and move to a folder.
I'd like to move the all the file to /root/gunbot

Code: [Select]

wget https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/releases/download/Beta2.0.4lin/gunbotv2.0.4_linux_x86_x64.zip  # Download the GUNBOT
unzip gunbotv2.0.4_linux_x86_x64.zip                                                                                                            # Unzip
mv gunbotv2.0.4_linux_x86_x64/ gunbot/                                                                                                       # I perfer to use this folder
cd gunbot/                                                                                                                                                     # cd into the folder

You will have those file in the folder.



Now, we need to make the gunbot executable

Code: [Select]

chmod +x gunbot
Now we can edit the config file via nano, forget about the config name. We can consider BTC_DASH-config.js as a default config file.

Code: [Select]

nano BTC_DASH-config.js
Using →←↑↓ to locate, you want to save the file? Ctrl + x then y then Enter

We use cp to generate the config file. If you want to trade with BTC_ETH and BTC_ETC, just type

Code: [Select]

cp BTC_DASH-config.js BTC_ETH-config.js
cp BTC_DASH-config.js BTC_ETC-config.js

Now we need a gunbot.yaml file to start pm2

Code: [Select]

nano gunbot.yaml
Copy and paste the following line.

Code: [Select]

apps:
  - script : ./gunbot
    name : 'BTC_ETH'
    args : 'BTC_ETH'
  - script : ./gunbot
    name : 'BTC_ETH'
    args : 'BTC_ETH'
  - script : ./gunbot
    name : 'BTC_ETH'
    args : 'BTC_ETC'

You want to trade more pairs, just write them down in the same format

Now we come to the most excited moment, let start it~

Code: [Select]

pm2 start gunbot.yaml


Here we go~

How can I see the logs

Nice question, we need GUNBOT's log for analytics.

There are two ways for us to see the logs

[size=12]Viewing all logs in one place[/size]

Code: [Select]

pm2 monit


[size=12]Viewing a single paris logs[/size]

Example BTC_ETH

Code: [Select]

pm2 logs BTC_ETH
From here you can know why the bot restarted and the new logs.



----

Now, everything should work, good luck~
