Gekko hosting

[sheep2Moon]

Hello and thanks for this forum idea, it helps and we need more brain at work

I'm a newbie and wonder how I could make my gekko run 24/7.

I don't want my gekko to run on my everyday device and don't have a server in the basement. Any idea of what it might need / cost with a cloud hosting ? Do you consider it safe considering Gekko owns the exchange api keys ?

You do not need to rent a server only for Gekko. You can run it already on a Raspberry Pi for ~30 bucks. It is also very nice on energy consumption. It is USB powered and you connect it directly with your router, in case it offers an USB port.

Do you consider it safe considering Gekko owns the exchange api keys ?

Sure, using the API keys, you only grant access to trading tools, nothing else. Gekko won't be able to withdrawal your wallet etc.

@plagin makes a great point!

If you don't want to spend the $30 or your ISP or electric company aren't reliable 24/7, for free you can use a Free tier template on Amazon's AWS cloud services, then install and run Gekko out of the cloud.
After setting up your AWS Ubuntu instance(Windows options available):
1. Use the main directions here to get Gekko installed: https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/...gekko.html
(For Windows: https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/...ndows.html)
2. Then follow the instructions here to configure Gekko to work within the cloud and be accessible from the outside: https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/...-the-cloud
2.a  Those instructions will mention setting up a reverse proxy to protect your Gekko instance.  You definitely want to do this.  Here are instructions for installing and configuring NGINX on AWS in Ubuntu: "Setting Up NGINX and NGINX Plus as a Web Server and Reverse Proxy in AWS": https://www.nginx.com/blog/setting-up-nginx/

Agreed with above, but just to add, AWS fives you a free server for a year, google cloud platform gives you a free one indefinitely - I have a few running on different accounts
