Managing Portainer

To make it run:

docker run -d -p 443:9443 --name portainer \
    --restart=always \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -v portainer_data:/data \
    portainer/portainer-ce:2.11.1

To stop it (in case you want to upgrade):

docker stop portainer
docker rm portainer

Set Up

1. Clone this repo to ~/biggest-losers
2. Install Python 3.9 (or higher) (not lower, we need zoneinfo module for timezones). Running python3 --version should return Python 3.9.x
3. Install nodemon (install nodejs, then npm install -g nodemon; may need to use sudo)
4. Run the following:

mkdir -p ~/biggest-losers-data/cache
mkdir -p ~/biggest-losers-data/inputs
mkdir -p ~/biggest-losers-data/outputs
mkdir -p ~/biggest-losers-data/logs

5. Reference .env.sample and set up paper.env folder. Set BROKER=none. Create finnhub.io and polygon.io accounts, get API keys and paste them into paper.env.
6. Ask your best friend for a zip of their cache directory - it can take days to build that from scratch on Polygon Free tier (5 req / minute)
7. Add VS Code extensions for VS Code. Use pep8 autoformatter.
8. pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install python dependencies.

Troubleshooting

My TD Token is not refreshing / has expired

Follow instructions here to generate a new token using the server: https://github.com/jamesfulford/td-token

Then, scp the token to the remote server so it can be refreshed as needed.

scp output/token.json solomon:~/td-cash-data/inputs/td-token/output/token.json

(There might be issues with 2 different refreshers using the same tokens, it seems refreshing might cause expiration)
