There is a docker env variable with "BIDSWITCH_ID" as a seat id for the exchange but the env variable is not parsed correctly on running bidder instance. It results in "localhostSWITCH_ID" because there is another env variable $BID with default value as "localhost".
The solution would be to rename the "BIDSWITCH_ID" variable name to avoid value mapping conflicts.

Testing RTB4Free using the simulator. In the bid request, there is the section that defines a user. How is the user stored in Kibana?

Bid request is here:

Logging to Kibana is configured. However, But the "userId" and "userProfile" are both "undefined"

It would be great to see a configuration for AWS ECS. I messed around with it a bit, but there are enough differences that it would take more work. You can't have more than 10 containers in a task, and you want to split the bidder off anyway. So you need service discovery and a few other things I think.

One hangup is there is a dependency on persistent storage for Zerospike. FARGATE doesn't have persistent storage, but perhaps an EC2 ECS cluster would work.

Hello, I amusing current version of rtb4free with bidder deployed in docker container. The. bidder is working without any issues when the creative type is banner or video.

anyone can help me??

Currently, the bidder component and Zerospike appear to be in the same repo. To keep things nice and tidy, separate Zerospike into its own repo.

Could you give a sample of native creative in database.json? Thanks very much

Hello,

I am getting a warning while sending a sample bid to the system.

WARN: Warning, wrong callback message, params: type=pixel & redirect

I think the issue is with the form of the pixel fire and click trackers.

Regards,
Sanchit
