Additional Files Needed for TA-Lib Dockerfile Setup

[BouarfaMahi]

hey,

I would like to use the TA-Lib Dockerfile as a container within a Docker Compose setup. Could you please let me know which additional relevant files from the TA-Lib directory I would need to include to complete the setup?

thank you

Like this dockerfile? https://github.com/TA-Lib/ta-lib-python/blob/master/Dockerfile I would assume instead it would download the C library and install the python ta-lib using pip…

Yes i have use it in a docker compose and the docker stack doest not complete with this error message:

Right, you probably want it to not use that src directory unless you are trying to bundle the git repo, and just have a pip install ta-lib step.

After updating my Docker Compose with:

`
talib:
build:
context: ./talib
dockerfile: Dockerfile
ports: []
volumes:
- ./data:/app/data
environment:
- DB_HOST=questdb
- DB_PORT=9000
depends_on:
- questdb

`
I created a talib directory and cloned the ta-lib-python repository. Now the Docker stack completes successfully without any issues.

Thank you
