A public overview of the Provider setup flow: deploy the gateway, verify health, keep credentials private, and connect Studio through the supported surface.
#tutorial#getting-started#provider#docker

What You Are Starting
Barfinex Provider is the controlled gateway between Studio and your trading infrastructure. Studio should talk to Provider over HTTPS; downstream services, storage, queues, and exchange credentials remain private deployment details.
Prerequisites
- Docker or another deployment environment supported by the Provider repository.
- Access to the current Provider deployment files.
- A Provider URL that can be reached from the browser where Studio is opened.
- Credentials stored in the deployment environment, not in public notes or tickets.
Setup Flow
- Clone or fetch the current Provider-owning repository.
- Create local configuration from the repository example.
- Add the credentials required by your environment.
- Start the Provider stack using the repository-supported command.
- Verify Provider health.
- Register the HTTPS Provider URL in Studio.
What To Verify
- Provider health is green before Studio registration.
- REST and WebSocket surfaces are available through Provider.
- The browser trusts the Provider certificate.
- Logs do not print full tokens, private keys, exchange secrets, or account secrets.
- Studio connects only to Provider, not to individual downstream services.
Next Steps
- Connect Provider in Studio.
- Add market subscriptions through the Provider-supported UI or API flow.
- Use Provider OpenAPI for the current route contract.
- Use
trading.apps/docs/ai/local-provider-stack-runbook.mdfor exact local commands.
