Runing in cloud!

[Lorkshem]

Is it possible to run gekko in the cloud hosted at 000webhost for example? If yes, is there any tutorial on how to do this?

As soon as you want to run gekko live it is highly recommended to do this in the cloud! However, you do need shell access because you need to install Nodejs and gekko's dependencies. So a shared hosting provider (like 000webhost) does not work.

I always use digitalocean (their cheapest VPS box can run almost 10 gekkos at the same time), but you can also check out vultr or AWS or any other online cloud company that offers a VPS.

I am (very slowly) working on gekko.wizb.it. It will host a lot of information about Gekko and I am thinking about offering a hosted Gekko service at some point.

@askmike good to know about gekko.wizb.it.

I have a VPN on DigitalOcean and I tried to run gekko there. It works, but once I disconnect from the server the bot stops. Is it right? Should I start any other service/server to keep it running?

When you start gekko in an SSH session it will kill Gekko when you close that. In order to keep Gekko running you need to run it using something else. My advice is to use PM2: http://www.nikola-breznjak.com/blog/javascript/nodejs/using-pm2-to-run-your-node-js-apps-like-a-pro/

Or look into screen and SSH that would keep your session alive and you could get back into it?

[askmike]

yes, that would work as well
