Freqstart is the combined public knowledge, based on best practice solutions, to run Freqtrade in the most secure environment possible. Every step can be done manually and even if you decide to remove Freqstart, you can start and stop your project files with native Docker commands.

Freqstart installs server packages and configurations tailored to the needs of Freqtrade and may overwrite existing installations and configurations. It is recommended to set it up in a new and clean environment!

Packages: curl, dbus-user-session, docker-ce, docker-ce-rootless-extras, docker-compose, jq, openssl, systemd-container, tailscale, ufw, uidmap

If you take crypto bot trading seriously, never use a VPS with only one core. Freqtrade doesn't use multithreading, but with CPU-heavy strategies like NFIX, your VPS would be at almost 100% capacity every time. It is also recommended to add 1 CPU core per bot. So if you are running 3 different strategies, you should have at least 4 CPU cores to have some buffer for other system tasks. Additionally, install bashtop ($ sudo apt install bashtop), set the timing to 30,000ms and see how long it takes your VPS to finish calculating a new trade candle from 100% to below 20% within 10 bars (= 5 minutes) per core. A good benchmark for NFIX would be 2 minutes, which equals 4 bars. Anything higher or consistently above 90% risks losing you money or never getting a trade entry. Don't be too cheap on your way to the moon, or you'll probably end up in goblin town anyway.

With Freqstart you are no longer bound to a single docker-compose.yml and can freely structure and link your Freqtrade bots.

• Have multiple container (services) in one project file
• Have a single container (service) in multiple project files
• Have multiple container (services) in multiple project files

• Project file based on NostalgiaForInfinityX and Binance (BUSD) with Proxy and FreqUI enabled.
