RunBanBot

中文

Use docker/podman to start banbot:

git clone https://github.com/banbox/runbanbot.git

To access the Binance API, you need to set a VPN proxy. You can enter the runbanbot directory and edit the .env file, changing the value of BANBOT_PROXY to your local VPN proxy, for example: http://host.docker.internal:7897

The host.docker.internal above is the address used by a Docker container to access the host machine. You may also run ipconfig to check your LAN IP and replace it.
Note that you also need to enable "allow connections from the LAN" (or similar) in your VPN/proxy software.

Then execute the following command to start:

cd runbanbot
docker compose up -d

Then open localhost:8000 in your browser to access it.

The BanDataDir and BanStratDir environment variables are already configured within the container, so you do not need to configure them again when executing commands related to the documentation. The database uses the built-in QuestDB, no need to start a separate database service.
