Hello,
I noticed that quite a lot of users run gekko in a screen process to keep it running while they are logged off. But there's a better way, use PM2!
The installation is quite simple:
Ubuntu/Debian users might want to run it with: sudo
Now that you have pm2 installed, there's just one more step to start gekko:
For CLI bots use:
To run the UI use:
Everything after the doubledash is passed as an argument to the gekko.js process. The parameter -n names your process. You have to give every instance a name, otherwise pm2 will refuse to start more than one instance of gekko.
To list all running processes use:
To stop a process use:
Once a process is stopped you can remove it from the list using:
PM2 stores the output of each process in your users homedir in ~/.pm2/logs. You can watch the logs with:
I hope this helps anyone who's stuck in a hell of running a bunch of screen processes in parallel.
Tips are welcome:
