You will now have the IB Gateway app running on port 4003 and VNC on 5901.

See docker-compose.yml for configuring VNC password, accounts and trading mode.

Please do not open your box to the internet.

Testing VNC

Demo Accounts

Troubleshooting

Sometimes, when running in non-daemon mode, you will see this:

Exception in thread "main" java.awt.AWTError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

You will have to remove the container docker rm container_id and run docker-compose up again.
