freqtrade-testing

This Helm chart deploys Freqtrade in Kubernetes for testing workflows: downloading historical data, running backtests, and running hyperopt. It also includes an optional web UI for inspecting results and the API.

What it deploys

• A StatefulSet with two containers:
  • testing: runs download-data, backtesting, and/or hyperopt, then stays idle
  • ui: runs the Freqtrade webserver (optional)
• Secrets for config.json and API credentials
• ConfigMap for strategy files
• Services (headless + UI)
• Optional Ingress for the UI
• Optional PVC for persistent user_data

Defaults and behavior

• Testing features are disabled by default. Enable them under testing.*.
• The UI is disabled by default. Enable it via testing.ui.enabled.
• When any of testing.download_data.enabled, testing.backtesting.enabled, or testing.hyperopt.enabled is true, the testing container becomes the default container for kubectl exec and kubectl logs.

Minimal usage

Render:

helm template freqtrade-testing . -n freqtrade-testing

Install:

helm install freqtrade-testing . -n freqtrade-testing --create-namespace

Enabling testing

Example: download data and run backtests.

helm upgrade --install freqtrade-testing . \
  -n freqtrade-testing \
  --create-namespace \
  --set testing.enabled=true \
  --set testing.download_data.enabled=true \
  --set testing.backtesting.enabled=true

Enabling the UI

helm upgrade --install freqtrade-testing . \
  -n freqtrade-testing \
  --create-namespace \
  --set testing.enabled=true \
  --set testing.ui.enabled=true

Port-forward:

kubectl -n freqtrade-testing port-forward svc/freqtrade-testing-freqtrade-testing-ui 8080:8080

Configuration

Key values:

• config.* Freqtrade configuration
• testing.* download/backtest/hyperopt controls
