Once docker-compose.yml and .env are in place you can start the container with:

docker compose up

You can use vnc for ib-gateway or RDP for TWS.

Ports

The following ports will be ready for usage on the ib-gateway container and docker host:

Port	Description
4003	TWS API port for live accounts. Through socat, internal TWS API port 4001. Mapped externally to 4001 in sample `docker-compose.yml`.
4004	TWS API port for paper accounts. Through socat, internal TWS API port 4002. Mapped externally to 4002 in sample `docker-compose.yml`.
5900	When `VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD` was defined, the VNC server port.

TWS image uses the following ports

Port	Description
7498	TWS API port for live accounts. Through socat, internal TWS API port 7496. Mapped externally to 7496 in sample `tws-docker-compose.yml`.
7499	TWS API port for paper accounts. Through socat, internal TWS API port 7497. Mapped externally to 7497 in sample `tws-docker-compose.yml`.
3389	Port for RDP server. Mapped externally to 3370 in sample `tws-docker-compose.yml`.

Utility socat is used to publish TWS API port from container's 127.0.0.1:4001/4002 to container's 0.0.0.0:4003/4004, the sample docker-file.yml maps ports to the host back to 4001/4002. This way any application can use the "standard" IB Gateway ports. For TWS 127.0.0.1:7496/7497 to container's 0.0.0.0:7498/7499, and tws-docker-file.yml will map ports to host back to 7496/7497.

Note that with the above docker-compose.yml, ports are only exposed to the docker host (127.0.0.1), but not to the host network. To expose it to the host network change the port mappings on accordingly (remove the '127.0.0.1:'). Attention: See Leaving localhost

Using TWS

From 10.26.1h it's possible to run TWS in a container. tws-rdesktop image provides a desktop environment that allows to use TWS.

Performance considerations for TWS

tws-rdesktop has the following recomended settings.

In tws-docker-compose.yml:

set /dev/dri:/dev/dri
shm_size: "1gb"
seccomp:unconfined
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE, depending your TWS you might need to increase it. See Increase Memory Size for TWS
Volumes, set a volume for /tmp. ex tws_tmp:/tmp
Volumes, set a volumen for /config

The start up script will disable xfce compositing, as this has a significant impact on performance.

Customizing the image

Most if not all of the settings needed to run IB Gateway in a container are available as environment variables.

However, if you need to go beyond what's available, the image can be customized by overwriting the default configuration files with custom ones. To do this you must set environment variable CUSTOM_CONFIG=yes. By setting CUSTOM_CONFIG=yes run.sh script will not replace environment variables on config files. You must provide config files ready to be used by IB gateway/TWS and IBC, please make sure that you are familiar with IBC settings.

Image IB Gateway and IBC config file locations:

App	Config file	Default
IB Gateway	/home/ibgateway/Jts/jts.ini	jts.ini
IBC	/home/ibgateway/ibc/config.ini	config.ini

For TWS image config file locations are:

App	Config file	Default
TWS	/opt/ibkr/jts.ini	jts.ini
IBC	/opt/ibc/config.ini	config.ini

Sample settings:

...
    environment:
      - CUSTOM_CONFIG: yes
...
    volumes:
      - ${PWD}/config.ini:/home/ibgateway/ibc/config.ini
      - ${PWD}/jts.ini:/home/ibgateway/Jts/jts.ini # for IB Gateway
      - ${PWD}/jts.ini:/opt/ibkr/jts.ini # for TWS
      - ${PWD}/config.ini:/opt/ibc/config.ini # for TWS
...

Preserve settings across containers

You can preserve IB Gateway configuration by setting environment variable $TWS_SETTINGS_PATH and setting a volume

...
    environment:
      - TWS_SETTINGS_PATH: /home/ibgateway/tws_settings # IB Gateway
      - TWS_SETTINGS_PATH: /config/tws_settings # tws rdesktop
...
    volumes:
      - ${PWD}/tws_settings:/home/ibgateway/tws_settings # IB Gateway
      - ${PWD}/config:/config # for TWS we use linuxserver /config volume
...

For TWS it's recommended to use TWS_SETTINGS_PATH, as there is a good amount of data written to disk.

Important: when you save your config in a volume, file jts.ini will be saved. TIME_ZONE will only be applied to jts.ini if the file does not exists (first run) but not once the file exists. This is to avoid overwriting your settings.

Security Considerations

Leaving localhost

The IB API protocol is based on an unencrypted, unauthenticated, raw TCP socket connection between a client and the IB Gateway. If the port to IB API is open to the network, every device on it (including potential rogue devices) can access your IB account via the IB Gateway.

Because of this, the default docker-compose.yml only exposes the IB API port to the localhost on the docker host, but not to the whole network.

If you want to connect to IB Gateway from a remote device, consider adding an additional layer of security (e.g. TLS/SSL or SSH tunnel) to protect the 'plain text' TCP sockets against unauthorized access or manipulation.

Possible IB API port configurations

Some examples of possible configurations

Available to localhost, this is the default setup provided in docker-compose.yml. Suitable for testing. It does not expose API port to host network, host must be trusted.
Available to the host network. Unsecure configuration, suitable for short tests in a secure network. Not recommended.
```
ports:
  - "4001:4003"
  - "4002:4004"
  - "5900:5900"
```
Available for other services in same docker network. Services with access to trader network can access IB Gateway through hostname ib-gateway (same than service name). Secure setup, although host should be trusted.
```
services:
  ib-gateway:
    networks:
      - trader
#    ports: # commented out
#      - "4001:4003"
#      - "4002:4004"
#      - "5900:5900"
networks:
  trader:
```
SSH Tunnel, enable ssh tunnel as explained in ssh tunnel section. This will only make IB API port available through a secure SSH tunnel. Secure option if utilized correctly.

SSH Tunnel

You can optionally setup an SSH tunnel to avoid exposing IB Gateway port. The container DOES NOT run an SSH server (sshd), what it does is to create a remote tunnel using ssh client. So basically it will connect to an ssh server and expose IB Gateway port there.

An example setup would be to run ib-gateway-docker with a sidecar ssh bastion and a jupyter-quant, which provides a fully working algorithmic trading environment. In simple terms ib gateway opens a remote port on ssh bastion and listen to connections on it. While jupyter-quant will open a local port that is tunneled into bastion on the same port opened by ib-gateway-docker. This combination of tunnels will expose IB API port into jupyter-quant making it available for use with ib_insync. The only port available to the outside world is the ssh bastion port, which has hardened security defaults and cryptographic key authentication.

Sample ssh tunnels for reference.

# on ib gateway - this is managed by the container
ssh -NR 4001:localhost:4001 ibgateway@bastion
# on juypter-quant container.
eval $(ssh-agent) # start agent
ssh-add # add keys to agent
#  -f will send it to foreground
ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=20 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 -fNL 4001:localhost:4001 jupyter@bastion
# on desktop connect to VNC
ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=20 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 -NL 5900:localhost:5900 trader@bastion

It would look like this

       _____________
      |  IB Gateway | \   :4001
       -------------  |
                      |
      _____________   |
      | SSH Bastion | /   :4001
      -------------   \
                       |
                       |
      _______________  |
     | Jupyter Quant |/  :4001
      ---------------

ib-gateway-docker is using ServerAliveInterval and ServerAliveCountMax ssh settings to keep the tunnel open. Additionally it will restart the tunnel automatically if it's stopped, and will keep trying to restart it.

Minimal ssh tunnel setup:

SSH_TUNNEL: set it to yes. This will NOT start socat and only start an ssh tunnel.
SSH_USER_TUNNEL: The user name that ssh should use. It should be in the form user@server
SSH_PASSPHRASE: Not mandatory, but strongly recommended. If set it will start ssh-agent and add ssh keys to agent. ssh will use ssh-agent.

In addition to the environment variables listed above you need to pass ssh keys to ib-gateway-docker container. This is achieved through a volume mount

...
    volumes:
      - ${PWD}/ssh:/home/ibgateway/.ssh # IB Gateway
      - ${PWD}/config/ssh:/config/.ssh # TWS
...

TWS image will search ssh keys on HOME directory, so store keys on /config/.ssh

Make sure that:

you copy ssh keys with a standard name, ex ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa_sk, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_sk, or ~/.ssh/id_dsa
keys should have proper permissions. ex chmod 600 -R $PWD/ssh/*
you would need a $PWD/ssh/known_hosts file. Or pass SSH_OPTIONS=-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no, although this last option is NOT recommended for a production environment.
and please make sure that you are familiar with ssh tunnels

Credentials

This image does not contain nor store any user credentials.

They are provided as environment variable during the container startup and the host is responsible to properly protect it.

From 10.29.1e and 10.19.2m it's possible to use docker secrets. If the _FILE environment variable is defined, then that file will be used to get credentials.

Sample docker-compose.yml:

name: algo-trader
services:
  ib-gateway:
  ...
  environment:
    ...
    TWS_PASSWORD_FILE: /run/secrets/tws_password
    SSH_PASSPHRASE_FILE: /run/secrets/ssh_passphrase
    VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD_FILE: /run/secrets/vnc_password
    ...
  secrets:
    - tws_password
    - ssh_passphrase
    - vnc_password
  ...
secrets:
  tws_password:
    file: tws_password.txt
  ssh_passphrase:
    file: ssh_password.txt
  vnc_password:
    file: vnc_password.txt

In "dicussions" section you will find full examples for ibgateway and tws-rdesktop

RDP

tws-rdesktop will create a new TLS certificate every time the container starts. You can create your own certificate following this instructions. Once this steps are put in place the same TLS certificate will be used every time, which will allow you to trust it in your RDP client.

Troubleshooting socat and ssh

In case you experience problems with the API connection, you can restart the socat process

docker exec -it algo-trader-ib-gateway-1 pkill -x socat

After SSH_RESTART seconds socat will restart the connection. If SSH_RESTART is not set, by default the restart period will be 5 seconds.

For ssh tunnel,

docker exec -it algo-trader-ib-gateway-1 pkill -x ssh

The ssh tunnel will restart after 5 seconds if SSH_RESTART is not set, or the value in seconds defined in SSH_RESTART.

IB Gateway installation files

Note that the Dockerfile does not download IB Gateway installer files from IB homepage but from the github-releases of this project.

This is because it shall be possible to (re-)build the image, targeting a specific Gateway version, but IB only provide download links for the latest or stable version (there is no 'old version' download archive).

The installer files stored on releases have been downloaded from IB homepage and renamed to reflect the version.

IF you feel adventurous and you want to download Gateway installer from IB homepage directly, or use your local installation file, change this line on Dockerfile RUN curl -sSL https://github.com/gnzsnz/ib-gateway-docker/raw/gh-pages/ibgateway-releases/ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh --output ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh to download (or copy) the file from the source you prefer.

Example: change to RUN curl -sSL https://download2.interactivebrokers.com/installers/ibgateway/stable-standalone/ibgateway-stable-standalone-linux-x64.sh --output ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh for using current stable version from IB homepage.

How to build locally step by step

Clone this repo

  git clone https://github.com/gnzsnz/ib-gateway-docker

Change docker file to use your local IB Gateway installer file, instead of Loading it from this project releases: Open Dockerfile on editor and replace this lines:

RUN curl -sSL https://github.com/gnzsnz/ib-gateway-docker/raw/gh-pages/ibgateway-releases/ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh \
    --output ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh
RUN curl -sSL https://github.com/gnzsnz/ib-gateway-docker/raw/gh-pages/ibgateway-releases/ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh.sha256 \
    --output ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh.sha256

with

COPY ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh

Remove RUN sha256sum --check ./ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh.sha256 from Dockerfile (unless you want to keep checksum-check)
Download IB Gateway and name the file ibgateway-${IB_GATEWAY_VERSION}-standalone-linux-x64.sh, where {IB_GATEWAY_VERSION} must match the version as configured on Dockerfile (first line)
Download IBC and name the file IBCLinux-3.20.0.zip, where {IBC_VERSION} must match the version as configured on Dockerfile
Build and run: docker-compose up --build
