Getting started

First of all, make sure you have a valid config file. You can use the example config as a starting point:

$ cp config.example.yml config.yml

Open the file in your text editor of choice and edit it according to your preferred trading strategy. Don't forget to at least configure your API keys!

Binaries

The easiest way to get started is by downloading the latest release for your operating system from the releases page. Extract the archive, copy your config file to the same directory and finally run the binary in a terminal/command prompt as follows:

$ ./voltra

Docker

You can run the bot on any platform or cloud provider that supports Docker.

First, pull the latest image from GitHub's container registry as follows:

$ docker pull ghcr.io/sleeyax/voltra:latest

OR click here for instructions to build from source

Clone the source code and build the docker image locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/sleeyax/voltra.git
$ cd voltra
$ docker build --tag ghcr.io/sleeyax/voltra:latest .

Then, to run the bot you have the option to run with our without data persistence. When you opt for the latter, any outputted data such as your database will be deleted as soon as the container is removed.

• With full data persistence:

$ docker run --name voltra --volume ./config.yml:/bot/config.yml:ro --volume ./data:/bot/data -it sleeyax/voltra:latest

Alternatively, you can store your config file in the data directory and only mount that directory:

$ docker run --name voltra --volume ./data:/bot/data -it sleeyax/voltra:latest

• Without data persistence:

$ docker run --name voltra --volume ./config.yml:/bot/config.yml:ro -it sleeyax/voltra:latest
