Run this and ib gateway in Debian or Ubuntu in fully headless mode #202
Comments
Yes it is possible. Because ibgateway is a GUI application, you have to install something that makes it think there is a X-windows server. One way is to install xvfb. This handles all the X11 protocol exchanges with ibgateway but without actually displaying anything. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb For a detailed account of this plus a lot more see this: https://dimon.ca/how-to-setup-ibc-and-tws-on-headless-ubuntu-in-10-minutes/ |
I managed to get it running but its stuck on TWS loading stuck on "Reading layout settings..." any ideas? |
No idea. I've never tried doing this myself. Bear in mind that the "Reading layout settings..." state can take quite a while, so make sure you're giving it enough time. Also, please attach your IBC logfile to your reply - it contains a mass of useful diagnostic info, and might just help. Also it might be worth detailing what you actually did to get it this far. |
i'm maintaining a docker imager that runs ib gateway, with ibc in headless mode. you can access i through VNC |
I had the same issue when I was running on ec2. I upgraded my ec2 from micro to large, and voila worked. I def thought it was because of the processing power. |
Is it possible to run this and ib gateway in Debian or Ubuntu in fully headless mode?
