Requirements Docker Alpaca API credentials (API Key and Secret) Setup Clone the repository:

sh Copy code git clone https://github.com/ay1ncode/pythonProject7.git cd pythonProject7 Set your Alpaca API credentials:

Ensure your environment variables for the Alpaca API are set. You can do this by exporting them in your shell or adding them to the Dockerfile.

sh Copy code export ALPACA_API_KEY= export ALPACA_API_SECRET= Build the Docker image:

sh Copy code docker build -t pythonproject7 . Running the Application To run the application, you can start a Docker container using the built image. Ensure no other container is using the name test_alpaca_app.

Running the Container sh Copy code docker run -d --name test_alpaca_app pythonproject7 If the container name test_alpaca_app is already in use, you can either stop and remove the existing container or use a different name.

Stopping and Removing an Existing Container sh Copy code docker stop test_alpaca_app docker rm test_alpaca_app Running the Container with a Different Name sh Copy code docker run -d --name new_alpaca_app pythonproject7 Cron Job Schedule The cron job is set to run the main.py script at 10:00 AM on Mondays and Thursdays. The schedule is defined in the crontab file:

crontab Copy code 0 10 * * 1,4 root python /app/main.py >> /var/log/cron.log 2>&1 Troubleshooting If you encounter issues, here are some steps to troubleshoot:

Check Docker Logs:

sh Copy code docker logs test_alpaca_app Inspect the Cron Log:

Inside the container, inspect the /var/log/cron.log file to see the output of the cron jobs.

Ensure Correct Line Endings:

If you are using Windows, ensure the crontab file uses Unix line endings (LF). You can use tools like dos2unix to convert line endings.
