This repository holds the back-end code for wallstreetlocal, for the front-end, see here.

This repository is deprecated. The code was merged into wallstreetlocal's main repository.

Getting Started

This project uses Docker, to deploy, run the following command.

docker compose up -f docker-compose.yaml up

Third Party APIs

To run both the development and production builds, you will need to have environment variables for third party APIs. Most of the environment variables in the provided compose files you can keep as is, but for the API keys you will need to visit the following services.

• Alpha Vantage
• OpenFIGI
• Finnhub

These three different services allow for the most up-to-date and accurate data, while also avoiding rate-limiting.

Telemetry

For telemetry, wallstreetlocal uses Sentry. You can sign up here.

Sentry is a paid service, although it has a free trial. If you are a student, there is also a free upgrade available.

Development

The development build is mainly made for testing, so it is ideal for self-hosting.

A full list of this app's microservices.

• FastAPI for the main application
• MongoDB for the database
• Redis for cache
• Meilisearch for search
• Sentry for telemetry

To run the full app, you need the microservices running through Docker, and the main application running seperately.

1. Run the microservices by calling the development docker-compose.yaml.

docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml up

2. Run the main application (with configured environment variables).

python main.py

docker-compose.yaml (Development)

services:
  cache:
    container_name: cache
    build:
      context: ./cache
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    restart: always
    networks:

    ports:

Production

The production build is made for running at scale, so you may want to do the following things:

• Run on only one worker
• Map all docker ports to localhost

To run the full application with all required microservices, you need just one command.

docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml up
