IB Gateway

Creates a completely self-contained Docker container of IB Gateway. Exposes a VNC service on port 5900 and 7496/7497 for the IB API.

Usage

1. git clone git@github.com:ryanclouser/docker-ibgateway.git
2. cd docker-ibgateway
3. Configure IB Gateway on a local system.
   • Copy jts.ini to the cloned repository folder.
   • Copy ibg.xml from your profile folder into the cloned repository folder (it's inside the very long folder name). This contains your account settings (like enabling/disabling read-only mode).
4. Edit Dockerfile and change the PROFILE variable to the name of your profile.
5. Edit the VNC password in Dockerfile if needed.
6. docker build -t ibgateway .
7. docker run -d --rm --name ibgateway -e ARGS="username=IB_USERNAME password=IB_PASSWORD" -p 5900:5900 -p 7496:7496 -p 7497:7497 ibgateway

If paper trading, a 'return' keystroke will be sent after 15s to skip the warning dialog.
