Running on a Host

Running a collateral auction keeper directly on a host

Prerequisties
Python 3.6+
Get RAI:
Buy RAI from Uniswap v2 or open a SAFE and generate it.
Clone:
git clone https://github.com/reflexer-labs/auction-keeper.git
cd auction-keeper
git submodule update --init --recursive
Install:
This creates a virtual environment and installs requirements.
./install.sh
1) Start virtualenv
source _virtualenv/bin/activate
2) Create a model file
Paste the following code into collateral_model.sh:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
while true; do
  echo "{}"
  sleep 120                   
done
NOTE: Currently, collateral auctions sell collateral at a fixed discount and so the keeper doesn't use a bidding model. This empty bidding model is simply a placeholder.
3) Create the keeper run file
Create a file called run_auction_keeper.sh and paste the following code in it:
#!/bin/bash
bin/auction-keeper \
     --model ./collateral_model.sh \
     --rpc-uri <ETH_RPC_URL> \
     --eth-from <KEEPER_ADDRESS> \
     --eth-key key_file=<KEYSTORE_FILE>
Then, substitute the following variables:
ETH_RPC_URL - the URL of the ethereum RPC connection
KEEPER_ADDRESS - the keeper's address. It should be in checksummed format(not lowercase).
KEYSTORE_FILE - your Ethereum UTC JSON keystore filename
For more information about this keystore format and how to generate them:

Finally:
chmod +x run_auction_keeper.sh
4) Start the keeper and enter your keystore file password
./run_auction_keeper.sh
$ ./run_auction_keeper.sh
Password for /keystore/key.json:
