My Own Trading Dashboard (or, Moon Of The Day)

If like me you're a little obsessed with your cryptocurrencies assets, you might be reloading well known websites to get the latest prices. Nevertheless, without paying a fee, none of those websites is able to be customized only to show real time progression of your chosen coins.

So I came out with a self-hosting, docker-based solution that permits to add pretty much any cryptocurrency to a custom dashboard; as it is based on grafana, it can also graph many more data sources such as AWS CloudWatch or Google Stackdriver.

motd (it's the codename of the project) couples docker images using docker-compose in order to provide a flexible and reproductible environment. Technologies used include:

• collectd along with collectd-ticker, a collectd plugin I wrote to retrieve cryptocurrencies values on various exchanges
• collectd-exporter, a prometheus / collectd gateway
• prometheus, a popular time-series database
• grafana to visualize the results

Being based on docker, the dashboard can be run on various operating systems like Linux, OSX and even Windows.

Its usage is fully documented in its gitlab page, feel free to fork and / or contribute!
