Commandline options and disable websocket

[r3n3gad3]

Hi,

I'm a new and happy owner of a gunbot license. But before I start trading I want to get to know the software first. I've been looking around for a good user manual but sadly I came to the conclusion that there is none.

I'm running gunbot on Linux and commandline only, no X.

So I'm going to ask some questions in the hope that somebody would know..

• Is there a list with all the commandline options and if so where can I find it? I mean: ./gunbot --help or ./gunbot --version, ./gunbot --config, etc.
• Is there a way to get rid of the websocket feature? I'm not using it and for as far as I can see it is insecure. I really do not like the port to be open on my public internet address.. Can I configure it to listen only on localhost or simply disable it? I already tried:  "ws": {}, and: "ws": { "enabled": false }, and: "ws": { "ip": 127.0.0.1, "port": 5001}, but no luck it will still open a port and the last config try gives me a config syntax error..

Also I've read about the trading options, however these are scattered around the internet (github, this forum, groups on discord, reddit, bitcoin forums..) and it is getting confusing to know which option is still supported for which version. Currently I'm having a full time job finding documentation instead of getting the bot up and running, reading a manual to know the ins and outs, learn to know the bot within a week in the evening hours and then let the bot run to evaluate the results a week later ...

I would like to ask the owner of the bot to create a manual, on one spot and not scattered around the whole internet, for example at the github wiki pages (not the current manual, thats not a manual, this is a manual: https://nginx.org/en/docs/).

Welcome to the group! I'm not the owner, just another member like you, but I can give you a pretty good approximation of what Gunthar's response will be. He employs what he calls "rapid advanced development" and so the landscape is constantly moving and shifting. He relies upon member's suggestions for improvements and their reports of issues "in the field" in Telegram group. He is constantly improving upon and adding features so often times by the time there is documentation it is no longer relevant. His Gunbot moves at a pace much like that of the crypto world itself.

This is very different than what most software users are accustomed to, there isn't a new version every 6 months, there is a new release sometimes every day. Imagine trying to write a comprehensive manual at that pace.

So this can be frustrating and overwhelming at times, there is a steep learning curve, but once you get the rudimentary aspects down of how it works and how the group works, it can be fast paced and exciting as well. You can read through the release notes from older to newer versions to understand most of what needs to be understood in how Gunbot operates.

There are multiple guides within the forum to get users started, and the concepts for strategies do not really change. Up to date information (as well as help) can be attained by chatting in the Telegram group in real time.

These are a few resources collected by vosechu that hopefully will help you get started that I often share with new members. If you need further assistance head to Telegram group.
