IB Gateway docker

lightweight interactive brokers gateway docker

It's just pure IB Gateway and don't include any VNC service (for security reason, I don't like expose extra port)

This docker image just installed:

• IB Gateway (10.19.2l)

• IBC (3.18.0)

Pull the Docker image from Docker Hub

docker pull manhinhang/ib-gateway-docker

Create a container from the image and run it

docker run -d \
--env IB_ACCOUNT= \ #YOUR_USER_ID 
--env IB_PASSWORD= \ #YOUR_PASSWORD  
--env TRADING_MODE= \ #paper or live 
-p 4002:4002 \ #brige IB gateway port to your local port 4002
manhinhang/ib-gateway-docker

---

Build & Run locally

git clone git@github.com:manhinhang/ib-gateway-docker.git

docker build --no-cache -t ib-gateway-docker .
docker run -d \
--env IB_ACCOUNT= \ #YOUR_USER_ID
