+# Veloren Trading Bot
+
+A bot that buys, sells and trades with players.
+
+## Usage
+
+All of these steps can be done with docker instead of podman.
+
+### Running from pre-built image
+
+#### Setup
+
+Create a "secrets.toml" file:
+
+```toml
+# secrets.toml
+username = "my_username"
+password = "my_password"
+```
+
+Then create a secret to pass the file securely to the container.
+
+```sh
+podman secret create secrets.toml secrets.toml
+  
+```
+
+You will also need a "config.toml":
+
+```toml
+# config.toml
+character = "my_character"
+position = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0] # Change these to the desired X, Y, Z coordinates
+orientation = "West"
+
+[buy_prices]
+"common.items.food.cheese" = 50
+
+[sell_prices]
+"common.items.armor.boreal.back" = 250_000
+```
+
+Place this config file inside a directory called "config".
+
+#### Running
+
+```sh
+podman run \
+    --secret secrets.toml \
+    -v ./config/:/root/config/ \
+    --env CONFIG=/root/config/config.toml \
+    --env SECRETS=/run/secrets/secrets.toml \
+    --env RUST_LOG=trade_bot \
+    git.jeffa.io/jeff/trade_bot
+```
+
+### Building
+
+From the directory root:
+
+```sh
+podman build . -t trade_bot
+```
+
+Then follow the [above](#Running_from_pre-built_image) steps with the tag "trade_bot" instead of
+"git.jeffa.io/jeff/trade_bot".
