Running Multiple Bots
Multiple bots via Binary
Users can run multiple bots of Hummingbot installed via binary by simply running a new instance to open a new window.
Multiple bots via Docker
Create multiple instances using ./create.sh
script. Use following commands to download the create script and make it executable.
Linux
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CoinAlpha/hummingbot/development/installation/docker-commands/create.sh
chmod a+x *.sh
MacOS
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CoinAlpha/hummingbot/development/installation/docker-commands/create.sh -o create.sh
chmod a+x *.sh
cd ~
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CoinAlpha/hummingbot/development/installation/docker-commands/create.sh -o create.sh
chmod a+x *.sh
Running in the background (via Docker)
Press keys Ctrl+P
then Ctrl+Q
in sequence to detach from Docker i.e. return to command line. This exits out of Hummingbot without shutting down the container instance.
Restart or connect to a running instance using ./start.sh
script. Below commands download the start script and make it executable.
Linux
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CoinAlpha/hummingbot/development/installation/docker-commands/start.sh
chmod a+x *.sh
MacOS
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CoinAlpha/hummingbot/development/installation/docker-commands/start.sh -o start.sh
chmod a+x *.sh
Multiple bots from source
Below command downloads the Hummingbot repository from GitHub where $FOLDER_NAME
is the name of the separate directory.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/CoinAlpha/hummingbot.git $FOLDER_NAME
Do another install in the new directory.
cd $FOLDER_NAME
./install
conda activate hummingbot
./compile
Running in the background (from source)
Use either tmux
or screen
to run multiple bots installed from source. Check out these external links how to use them.
When using screen to run an instance in the background, run either of the following commands: screen
or screen -S $NAME
, where $NAME
is what you wish to call this background instance. Use the latter to be more explicit if you want to run multiple bots.
Navigate to the folder where your separate Hummingbot is installed, then start the bot like normal.
conda activate hummingbot
bin/hummingbot.py
To exit the screen (detach), press Ctrl+A
then Ctrl+D
in sequence.
To list all running instances, use screen -ls
.
Log back into the screen by using either screen
or screen -r $NAME
to open a specific instance.
