- Document port conflict resolution in TESTING_GUIDE.md
- Add example for custom API_PORT in .env.example
- Explain container vs host port architecture
- Provide solutions for common port conflict scenarios
Add VOLUME_PATH environment variable to customize storage location for
all persistent data (data/, logs/, configs/ subdirectories).
Changes:
- .env.example: Add VOLUME_PATH variable with documentation
- docker-compose.yml: Use ${VOLUME_PATH:-.} for all volume mounts
- docs/DOCKER.md: Document custom volume location feature
Benefits:
- Store data outside project directory (e.g., on separate disk)
- Easier backup/restore (single directory)
- Clean separation of code and data
- Support for absolute or relative paths
Usage:
# In .env file
VOLUME_PATH=/home/user/trading-data
# Results in mounts:
/home/user/trading-data/data:/app/data
/home/user/trading-data/logs:/app/logs
/home/user/trading-data/configs:/app/configs
Defaults to current directory (.) if not set for backward compatibility.
Add comment explaining OPENAI_API_BASE can be left empty
to use the default OpenAI endpoint, or set to a custom
proxy URL if needed.
Sets default value to empty instead of placeholder URL.
- 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.
Add WEB_HTTP_PORT environment variable to configure
the host port for the web interface (port 8888).
Container still uses 8888 internally, but host port
can be customized via .env file.
Internal container ports are now fixed at 8000-8003.
Host ports are configurable via .env variables.
This prevents port conflicts inside the container while
allowing users to map to different host ports if needed.
