How to Deploy an AI Crypto Trading Bot on Your VPS
In this tutorial you’ll deploy an AI crypto trading bot to your own VPS — the open-source Claude-powered bot from Part 1 — and have it analysing BTC and ETH on Binance testnet, messaging you on Telegram, in about 20–30 minutes. I’ll give you the exact steps, a complete list of the API keys you need, an honest running-cost breakdown, and every gotcha I hit so you don’t lose an evening to them.
Prerequisites
Before you deploy the AI crypto trading bot, get these ready:
A VPS running Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04. To run the bot, 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM is plenty. To train the ML model, more RAM helps — or train it on your laptop and copy the model file over (more below).
