New coder, issue getting the bot to run.

[Ianfinn1994]

I am pretty much teaching myself how to code. I am trying to build the bot using wsl ubuntu and have it run on my windows tower all day while i work. I am trying to build the docker file and then pass the two libraries into my copy of the code saved on my desktop, i keep getting this error when building, it seems to have to do with the tws installer for interactive brokers. Do i need a desktop interface, can i install this using wsl? Where am i going wrong?

Update. I got the code to open in a Debian container on docker on visual studio. It keeps failing on tws installer.

IBKR updates the images in-place periodically (which is pretty annoying), and there is no way to verify the hash direct from the source. As far as I know, there is also no way to download previous releases.

I have been manually updating and verifying the image accordingly once everything looks okay. I fetched the latest installer, and the hash (as of time of writing) is currently 09a2d39a1f5727346f43959b6c52b7becd1e4dd42b5ab907dd7d29cd51a023df which I will update.

If you're trying to build the Docker image locally, you'll need this. Alternatively you can just pull the image from Docker hub (docker pull brndnmtthws/thetagang) and run that instead, skipping all this.
