I'm submitting a ... [x] bug report [ ] question about the decisions made in the repository

Action taken (what you did) Recreating the container

Expected result (what you hoped would happen) Changes do not persist after recreating the Docker contaciner

Actual result (unexpected outcome)

Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. stackoverflow, etc)

I am using the Docker build and does not have a way to persist changes after recreating the container. Also would be extremely helpful if it could resume trading after a restart.

Which changes are you trying to have persist? How are you starting the Docker container... via docker or docker-compose?

You can easily persist any changes by mounting the volume to a local path and mapping it to a docker container path.

See: https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/ for docker See: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#volume-configuration-reference for docker compose

I was facing the same problem, and could figure out what was happening. Every change you make on the strategies, or any other file you have to push it to the running container. For example, I created a strategy mystrat.js and parameter file mystrat.toml. I push it to the running container with the command:

docker cp strategies/mystrat.js gekko_gekko:/usr/src/app/strategies docker cp config/strategies/mystrat.toml gekko_gekko:/usr/src/app/config/strategies

This should be called with a running container. Every file you want to update the container you must copy to it.

Interesting, I didn't know you could do that. To be honest I would still recommend using a volume mount configuration... then you don't need to copy any file. It is instantly updated on save because docket would be referencing the host directory for the given path.
