Zorro + Darwinex MT4 setup on Linux via Docker
Based on nevmerzhitsky/headless-metatrader4
This repository contains binaries which are freely available from:
If I am inadvertently in violation of their license by including them here then I will happily remove them.
Make a private copy for yourself so you can update the files in
secrets/ without giving away your credentials.
There's probably a better way to do this but this way is quite convenient.
An alternative to this is that you can also copy your secrets over the top of the templates provided immediately prior to building and running the container.
Choose an AMI, anything that can run Docker is fine.
Install the AWS tools.
sudo apt install -y awscli
Install docker.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y docker.io
Allow current user to run docker.
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Install git.
sudo yum install -y git
Install docker.
sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker
sudo service docker start
Make docker auto-start.
sudo chkconfig docker on
Allow current user to run docker.
sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER
If you have a fast local disk you may want to use it, this won't be persisted if your spot instance gets terminated though.
Create a file /etc/docker/daemon.json to move the docker
storage location. This requires at least 5 GiB currently.
{
"data-root": "/mnt/docker"
}
note: I ended up not using this, but thought I would document it as I thought it may be useful to someone.
Clone this repo.
git clone git@github.com:<user>/rapier
Copy your secrets/ into place unless they're already committed to the
cloned repo.
(optional) Enable vi mode in the shell so you don't go insane.
cp rapier/bashrc .bashrc
cp rapier/inputrc .inputrc
Log out and log back in for the .bashrc changes + docker permissions
to take effect.
(optional) Update DNS info.
You will need to modify the shell script to have the desired hosted zone and recordset first.
rapier/bin/update-route53.sh
(optional) Start a screen session so that you can exit the shell and everything will keep running.
screen -R
Start the container.
rapier/bin/run.sh
(optional) Detach from the screen session and logout.
<Ctrl-A> <Ctrl-D>
exit
You can reattach to the session by using screen -R again.
