This repository is maintained by Hummingbot Foundation as a companion for users of [Hummingbot](https://github.com/hummingbot/hummingbot), the open source framework for building high-frequency crypto trading bots.
## Requirements
* 8 GB memory or more (On AWS, this is a `t2.large` instance)
* Linux / Debian / MacOS
## Installation
1 - Install dependencies:
* [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/)
* [Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html) or [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/):
2 - Clone repo and navigate to the created directory
```bash
git clone https://github.com/hummingbot/dashboard.git
cd dashboard
```
3 - Create `conda` environment and install dependencies
```bash
make env_create
```
4 - Activate the isolated 'conda' environment
```bash
conda activate dashboard
```
5 - Start the dashboard
```bash
streamlit run main.py
```
## Enable Authentication
1 - Locate the `config.py` file in the /dashboard folder
2 - Open the file using a text editor
3 - Modify the `AUTH_SYSTEM_ENABLED` variable and set this to `True` to enable. By default this is set to `False`
## Configure Credentials for Authentication
### Method 1: Using hasher_generate
1 - Update the Environment
Ensure that you have the latest version of the project and reinstall the conda environment if needed.
2 - Generate Hashed Password
Open a Python terminal and utilize hasher_generate from Streamlit to generate a hashed password. Example code:
```
import streamlit_authenticator as st_auth
hashed_password = st_auth.Hasher("YOUR_PLAIN_TEXT_PASSWORD").generate()[0]
print(hashed_password)
```
3 - Edit the Credentials YAML File
Locate the credentials YAML file in the root directory.
Edit the file by inserting the generated hashed password from Step 2.
4 - Accessing the Dashboard
Run the Hummingbot Dashboard project.
Use the username and the plain text password (used in Step 2) to log in to the dashboard.
5 - Logging Out
To log out, navigate to the dashboard and select 'Logout'.
### Method 2: Using Pre-Authorized Emails for User Registration
1 - Update the Environment
As in Method 1, ensure your conda environment and project version are up-to-date.
2 - Whitelist Emails
In the credentials YAML file, add the emails of users who will be pre-authorized to register and create their credentials.
```
pre_authorized_emails:
- user1@example.com
- user2@example.com
```
3 - User Registration
Direct users to the Hummingbot Dashboard.
Users should select 'Register' and enter one of the pre-authorized email addresses.
They will choose their own username and password during registration.
4 - First-Time Login
Users log in with their chosen username and password.
The dashboard will hash and store their credentials automatically.
5 - Logging Out
Similar to Method 1, users can log out by navigating to the dashboard and selecting 'Logout'.
### Additional Notes
- Video instruction link - https://drive.google.com/file/d/17ecd2aWHZCyuK5Etcv8AZwXMw2B-1sJG/view?usp=share_link
- Users created through Method 2 (Pre-Authorized Emails) will have their hashed passwords automatically generated and stored.
- Always ensure the secure handling and storage of credentials.
- Utilize the 'Logout' feature to secure information and restrict access to the dashboard when it is not in use.
## Updating
To update the `dashboard` environment for changes to dependencies defined in `environment.yml`, remove the environment and re-create it:
```
make env_remove
make env_create
```
To updated the `dashboard` source for latest version, run:
```
cd dashboard
git pull
```
## Troubleshooting
### Docker permissions
If you get an error like `Permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock`, run this command to enable Docker permissions:
```
sudo chmod 6666 /var/run/docker.sock
```
### Sym-link data directory
To use the [Strategy Performance page](https://github.com/hummingbot/dashboard/wiki/%F0%9F%9A%80-Strategy-Performance), you need to establish a symbolic link to the `data` directory of your running Hummingbot instance:
The `data` directory differs for Docker versus Source installed Hummingbot:
* Docker installed: `/path/to/hummingbot/hummingbot_files/data`
* Source installed: `/path/to/hummingbot/data`
Create a symlink to your Hummingbot `/data` directory
```bash
# replace `/path/to/hummingbotdata` with the actual path
ln -s /path/to/hummingbotdata data
# if you need to remove the symlink
unlink data
```
