Getting Portfolio total only over SSH

[skiwithpete]

Hi,

I want to build a Raspberry Pi project with an e-ink screen that displays only the total of my portfolio.

I noticed that cointop allows for a -c call.

I was wondering if there was a way to do that -c call for my portfolio. While SSH'ing into a docker.

• as a little addon to the question, will it hold the connection or just check in an instant and then close the SSH?

You can try something like this

$ docker exec -it <container-id> sh
# cointop holdings --total --config /tmp/cointop_config/<config-id>/config

or

$ docker exec -it <container-id> cointop holdings --total --config /tmp/cointop_config/<config-id>/config

To query over the SSH server, try this with latest code on main branch:

$ ssh localhost -p 2222 -q -t holdings --total
100.1

The connection will close immediately, but you can use something like the watch command to constantly poll:

watch -tn1 ssh localhost -p 2222 -q -t holdings --total

I get this error message:

$ ssh @.*** -p 2222 -q -t holdings --total

@miguelmota try updating docker image and re-running ssh server

docker pull cointop/cointop

[skiwithpete]

worked.

The only problem is it's a way smaller number than it was last week ;)

Thanks for this program and all your help.
