# Running in Docker

## 1. Get RAI

Buy RAI or [open a SAFE](https://app.gitbook.com/@reflexer-labs/s/geb/pyflex/safe-management/opening-a-safe) to generate it.

## 2. Modify the model file as needed

A basic debt auction bidding model can be found in `models/debt_model.py`. This model retrieves the latest FLX/USD price from Coingecko and will automatically place bids in an auction.

You probably want to modify the following variables in `models/debt_model.py`:

* `MAXIMUM_FLX_MULTIPLIER`: the maximum acceptable FLX price to use when bidding. Default: `0.90` meaning the maximum price to pay when biding for FLX (with RAI) is 90% of the current FLX/USD market price from Coingecko
* `MY_BID_DECREASE`: the bid decrease (in FLX) to propose when outbidding another bidder. If the value is smaller than the debt auction house's `bidDecrease`, then it will use the value set in the debt auction house. Example: a value of `1.10` will use bid decreases of 10%. Note: the current `bidDecrease` on mainnet is `1.03`

Then, use `chmod +x debt_model.py`.

For more information about bidding models, see [this](https://docs.reflexer.finance/keepers/bidding-models).

## 3) Modify the keeper run file

Modify the following variables in `run_debt_keeper.sh`:

* `KEEPER_ADDRESS` - the keeper's address. It should be in checksummed format (not lowercase)
* `ETH_RPC_URL` - the URL of your Ethereum RPC connection
* `KEYSTORE_DIR` - the full path of the directory where your keystore file is
* `MODEL_DIR` - the full path of directory where your `surplus_model.py` file is
* `KEYSTORE_FILE` - your Ethereum UTC JSON keystore filename. For more information about the keystore format and how to generate it, check [Ethereum UTC / JSON Wallet Encryption](https://wizardforcel.gitbooks.io/practical-cryptography-for-developers-book/content/symmetric-key-ciphers/ethereum-wallet-encryption.html) or[ keythereum](https://github.com/ethereumjs/keythereum).
* `GAS_MAXIMUM` -maximum gas price, in GWEI

Then, use `chmod +x run_debt_keeper.sh`.

## 4) Start the keeper and enter your keystore file password

Use `./run_debt_keeper.sh`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.reflexer.finance/keepers/debt-auction-keeper/running-in-docker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
