Over 900 commits from one person is significant effort! Here is my feedback, more for users: 1. One should never run a crypto trading bot on Hetzner. Hetzner historically hasn't formally allowed anything to do with crypto. If it sees the words bitcoin or crypto anywhere on disk in a filename or in incoming packets, they can terminate your instance and account without warning, perhaps when you're in a middle of a high-priority trade that needs close attention. It happened to me, and is very dangerous with money on the line. 2. A second reason for not using Hetzner is that its datacenter is geographically probably pretty far from your broker, needlessly adding to much avoidable latency. 3. A third reason for not using Hetzner is that they recently raised the prices unpredictably and dramatically relative to other cloud providers. One needs a provider that won't screw oneself over. 4. If daytrading, it is critical to be able to redeploy and restart the trading bot within seconds. Until the bot's code is stabilized, identified bugs and strategy changes need to be addressed immediately when in the middle of trades. There is no time to rebuild and deploy a container. In contrast, it takes just a few seconds to do `git pull` and restart the Python/Go/TS service. As such, I would never use any container tooling for it. If one is making only long-term trades, then this matters less. | ||
