running ``ib`` gateway in ``docker``
------------------------------------
We have a config based on the (now defunct)
image from "waytrade":
https://github.com/waytrade/ib-gateway-docker
To startup this image with our custom settings
simply run the command::
docker compose up
And you should have the following socket-available services:
- ``x11vnc1@127.0.0.1:3003``
- ``ib-gw@127.0.0.1:4002``
You can attach to the container via a VNC client
without password auth.
SECURITY STUFF!?!?!
-------------------
Though "``ib``" claims they host filter connections outside
localhost (aka ``127.0.0.1``) it's probably better if you filter
the socket at the OS level using a stateless firewall rule::
ip rule add not unicast iif lo to 0.0.0.0/0 dport 4002
We will soon have this baked into our own custom image but for
now you'll have to do it urself dawgy.
