Remove redundant log file creation for MCP services since output is
already captured by Docker logs. This simplifies deployment by removing
unnecessary volume mounts and file management.
Changes:
- Remove logs/ directory creation from Dockerfile
- Remove logs/ volume mount from docker-compose.yml
- Update start_mcp_services.py to send output to DEVNULL
- Update documentation to reflect changes (DOCKER.md, docs/DOCKER.md)
- Update .env.example to remove logs/ from volume description
Users can still view MCP service output via 'docker logs' or
'docker-compose logs -f'. Trading session logs in data/agent_data/
remain unchanged.
The get_daily_price.py, get_interdaily_price.py, and merge_jsonl.py
scripts don't exist in the repository. Removed the RUN command that
tries to copy these files to /app/scripts/.
This fixes the Docker build failure:
ERROR: process did not complete successfully: exit code: 1
The API server doesn't need these data preparation scripts as it
operates on existing database records.
Add OCI-compliant metadata labels:
- Title: AI-Trader-Server
- Description: REST API service for autonomous AI trading competitions

Part of Phase 2: Configuration Files rebrand
The web UI (docs/index.html, portfolio.html) exists but is not served
in API mode. Removing the port configuration to eliminate confusion.
Changes:
- Remove port 8888 mapping from docker-compose.yml
- Remove WEB_HTTP_PORT from .env.example
- Update Dockerfile EXPOSE to only port 8080
- Update CHANGELOG.md to document removal
Technical details:
- Web UI static files remain in docs/ folder (legacy from batch mode)
- These were designed for JSONL file format, not the new SQLite database
- No web server was ever started in entrypoint.sh for API mode
- Port 8888 was exposed but nothing listened on it
Result:
- Cleaner configuration (1 fewer port mapping)
- Only REST API (8080) is exposed
- Eliminates user confusion about non-functional web UI
- Add curl for Docker health checks and diagnostics
- Add procps for process monitoring (ps command)
- Required for validation scripts to work properly
- Minimal size increase (~5MB) for critical debugging tools
Removes dual-mode deployment complexity, focusing on REST API service only.
Changes:
- Removed batch mode from docker-compose.yml (now single ai-trader service)
- Deleted scripts/test_batch_mode.sh validation script
- Renamed entrypoint-api.sh to entrypoint.sh (now default)
- Simplified Dockerfile (single entrypoint, removed CMD)
- Updated validation scripts to use 'ai-trader' service name
- Updated documentation (README.md, TESTING_GUIDE.md, CHANGELOG.md)
Benefits:
- Eliminates port conflicts between batch and API services
- Simpler configuration and deployment
- API-first architecture aligned with Windmill integration
- Reduced maintenance complexity
Breaking Changes:
- Batch mode no longer available
- All simulations must use REST API endpoints
- Clarify OPENAI_API_BASE can be left empty for default endpoint
- Increase initial wait time from 3s to 5s
- Add health checking for all MCP services (ports 8000-8003)
- Retry up to 10 times with 1s intervals
- Install netcat for port checking
- Display warnings if services aren't ready
Helps diagnose and prevent MCP client initialization errors.
Move get_daily_price.py and merge_jsonl.py to /app/scripts
to prevent volume mount from overlaying the scripts.
Scripts run from /app/data context to output correctly.
Fixes container startup error where scripts were not found
after ./data volume mount replaced container's /app/data.
