Tips to secure your Freqtrade bot server

These steps help you to secure your Freqtrade server on a LINUX system.

!!! WARNING !!!

  • It's not reccommended to attach your server directly to the Internet!

  • It's also not reccommended to expose your API or UI to the internet (via NAT, port tunneling, VPN or something else)!

  • Do not share passwords, keyfiles and other security information with others!

The steps you see are based on a Debian 11 linux system. This setup is also used on a Cloud VM and on a Raspberri Pi.

Steps in this security process are:

  1. Create a normal user and disable the root user
  2. Configure a firewall
  3. Configure the SSH server for secure login
  4. Configure the time server
  5. Enable automatic updates for your server
  6. Freqtrade bot security hints
  7. Create NGINX for a proxy connection to your bot
  8. Create a secure web connection with a self-signed certificate
