Editing the docker-compose file

Advanced users may edit the docker-compose file further to include all possible options or arguments.

All possible freqtrade arguments will be available by running docker-compose run --rm freqtrade <command> <optional arguments>.

!!! Note "docker-compose run --rm" Including --rm will clean up the container after completion, and is highly recommended for all modes except trading mode (running with freqtrade trade command).

Example: Download data with docker-compose

Download backtesting data for 5 days for the pair ETH/BTC and 1h timeframe from Binance. The data will be stored in the directory user_data/data/ on the host.

docker-compose run --rm freqtrade download-data --pairs ETH/BTC --exchange binance --days 5 -t 1h

Head over to the Data Downloading Documentation for more details on downloading data.

Example: Backtest with docker-compose

Run backtesting in docker-containers for SampleStrategy and specified timerange of historical data, on 5m timeframe:

docker-compose run --rm freqtrade backtesting --config user_data/config.json --strategy SampleStrategy --timerange 20190801-20191001 -i 5m

Head over to the Backtesting Documentation to learn more.

Additional dependencies with docker-compose

If your strategy requires dependencies not included in the default image (like technical) - it will be necessary to build the image on your host. For this, please create a Dockerfile containing installation steps for the additional dependencies (have a look at Dockerfile.technical for an example).

You'll then also need to modify the docker-compose.yml file and uncomment the build step, as well as rename the image to avoid naming collisions.

    image: freqtrade_custom
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: "./Dockerfile.<yourextension>"

You can then run docker-compose build to build the docker image, and run it using the commands described above.
