[python] Implementing ability to run bot in a docker container

[NovusEdge]

Changed the BTBManagerTelegram.py to make it so that a --docker flag can be passed in, which will allow the script to run in a docker container

The container is: python:3 and uses the Dockerfile to make a temporary image in which the script will be run.

So, to normally run the script:

python3 BTBManagerTelegram.py

And to run inside a docker container:

python3 BTBManagerTelegram.py --docker

Please let me know if this what was required.

If there's some changes to be made, please ping me :)

[lorcalhost]

Thanks @NovusEdge , I'll test it right away and let you know ASAP

This may break if the script is run from a directory other than the project-directory.

A solution to this may be using os and pathlib to change the path to the project-directory.

@lorcalhost
Please let me know if you want me to make the changes according to the before-mentioned comment.

PS: Please make it into a separate issue so that it's easier to review and edit

@NovusEdge I am having some trouble running the Docker image (probably due to my lack of knowledge on Docker images).

Would you mind updating the README.md file with some instructions?

Also, in your testing were you able to use all functionalities without any problem?

Edit: never mind, all seems to be working fine on my end, did you encounter any problems?

@lorcalhost
Could you send the error message you're getting (if any). It could be that maybe there's some error in the code I wrote.

I believe the problem may be because of what i mentioned in one of the comments:

sure :)

This may break if the script is run from a directory other than the project-directory.

When you say project-directory do you mean from inside the /BTB-manager-telegram directory or the /binance-trade-bot directory where the BTBManagerTelegram.py script has been moved?

[NovusEdge]

Edit: never mind, all seems to be working fine on my end, did you encounter any problems?

No, I did not, not in any of my tests, although I would admit, I was kinda stuck with this in the beginning:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './config/apprise.yml'

the /BTB-manager-telegram directory

[lorcalhost]

@NovusEdge Actually one problem does arise, currently the Start bot feature calls the subprocess function

$(which python3) -m binance_trade_bot &

If with Docker we are working from a different directory than the /binance-trade-bot one, how do we interact with the module?

One way would be calling

BTBManagerTelegram(root_path='../binance-trade-bot')

but in this case we would require both the binance-trade-bot and the BTB-manager-telegram directories to be in the same directory, also I believe we would need to pass some arguments to the Docker image to tell it to run with a different root path.

What else do you propose?

I believe it'll be far easier to go over this on a voice chat.
