Why Use a Detached GUI in Gunbot?

Using a detached GUI offers multiple advantages:

• Lower Resource Usage: It reduces the processing power needed to run Gunbot, resulting in smoother operation.
• Improved Websocket Performance: When activating websockets in Gunbot, a detached GUI ensures better performance. Websockets require significant resources, as this technology turns Gunbot into a listener, processing a continuous stream of data from the exchange.
• Ideal for VPS Setups: Detached mode is perfect for running Gunbot on VPS, keeping the trading core lightweight and efficient.

VPS Setup for Detached GUI

1. Edit Configuration for VPS

  json

  "api_url": "https://demo.gunthy.es:3001",
"port": 3333


2. Allow Port Traffic

• On your VPS, ensure that the specified port (3001 by default) is open in the firewall settings.

3. Http or Https (Optional) 

• If you wish to use an SSL local certificate for the GUI, you can copy your original certificate and rename them to cert.cert (certificate) / key.key (key) , edit the config.json and add the line: “https_port”: 3334,
• Launch the gunbot gui executable.

Testing Your Setup

• Open a browser and navigate to the GUI:
  • Local Setup: http://localhost:3333
