Metatrader Failed Installation Within Docker Image

[lloydmcl]

Firstly, thank you for sharing this. It's got me a step closer to speeding up my development efforts.

The issue I'm having is when I attempt the installation of MT5 within the docker container, I get the following:

I have checked the wine folder and can see that unfortunately MT5 did not install. From the error, it looks as if it needs an interactive installation with display output.

I am yet to try the installation on my host. Was hoping to keep this a scripted approach with installation within the container. But that may not be possible. Have you seen this error before? Any ideas on how I can resolve it?

[lloydmcl]

Tried with a copied version of an MT5 installation from the host and similar error:

These containers are only designed to run MT from an existing installation, not to install it from scratch.
I installed MT in portable mode on a windows host and then archived this installation directory for use in containers.

There was a reason why I chose this approach but I'm not entirely sure what it was. IIRC I encountered issues when trying to use the container for also installing MT.

About your error running the container with an existing installation: 0048:err:explorer:initialize_display_settings Failed to query current display settings for L"\\.\DISPLAY1". Seems like your $DISPLAY variable is not set correctly. Where are you running the container ? Causes for the error might be:

• Starting the container from a non-interactive session which doesn't have $DISPLAY set.
• Running the container as root or with sudo which clears the environment variables.
• Running on a host that doesn't have an X11 display server in the first place. The container might not work on Ubuntu 21.04 and newer for example since they use Wayland by default now.

[lloydmcl]

This makes sense, my MT5 installation was performed on a windows 10 host but was not performed in portable mode.

I am running the container from command line precisely as documented in the readme. Building locally and then running container. docker build . -t tickelton/mt

docker run --net host -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY -v "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5:/MetaTrader" --name mt tickelton/mt

Perhaps my issue is related to the portable install of MT5. I can test that out now.

[lloydmcl]

Just learnt there is no installation in portable mode, it is a parameter when executing the application. In that case, I am running it in portable mode as this is specified as the entrypoint in the docker file. Am thinking my issue lies with the X11 display server. I have never used this before, so apologies if I'm being a noob. Will read up on it now.

[tickelton]

What does echo $DISPLAY say on your host ?

[lloydmcl]

Empty variable. Should it return an X11 server endpoint?

[tickelton]

Yes should look something like this:

$ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0

Which Linux distribution and version are you running ?

[lloydmcl]

This is all running on a windows 10 host, which I think is my issue. I can run this on an Ubuntu Focal VM. Or I can install an X11 server like xming. Will try that out and see how I go. Really appreciate your guidance @tickelton

[tickelton]

I've never used Docker on Windows so I can't comment if that's going to work. Ubuntu Focal should work, though.

[tickelton]

BTW: running this on windows, or worse on a Linux VM in Windows, is probably not a good idea. You'll take a massive performance hit.
Even running natively on Linux Wine isn't exactly fast. Running a Windows emulator in a Linux virtual machine on a Windows host is going to be way worse.

[lloydmcl]

I have the option of running this on MAC OSX which is what I'm intending to do. Unfortunately for me, I'm developing with the MT5 python module which requires Python on Windows :(

[tickelton]

I don't think I fully understand your use case, but it seems like this container isn't really suited for what you're doing. If you want to use python-MetaTrader5 you'll probably also need that module and a full python runtime in the container. If your host is Windows anyway you'd be much better off running natively there. The main use case for this container was getting rid of the Windows host in the first place and being able to run MetaTrader on Linux, but that only works well if your workflow doesn't have any additional outside dependencies like, in your case, python-MetaTrader5.

[lloydmcl]

Thank you for the advice.

Yes, I was planning to expand on your docker image to include the python runtime. I already have my development working natively on windows 10. But I wanted to create something that I could easily transport to work on in an AWS EC2 instance, a mac os, a windows host etc etc remaining consistent regardless of host. Which is why I'm looking at a docker container.
