| 1 | +# Interactive Brokers Gateway Docker Container |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This repository contains a Dockerized version of the Interactive Brokers Client Portal Web API Gateway. It provides a containerized solution for running the IB Gateway, making it easier to deploy and manage in various environments. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Features |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- Dockerized IB Gateway |
| 8 | +- Multi-architecture support (amd64/arm64) |
| 9 | +- Automated builds via GitHub Actions |
| 10 | +- Volume mounting for configuration |
| 11 | +- Easy deployment with Docker Compose |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## Prerequisites |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +- Docker |
| 16 | +- Docker Compose |
| 17 | +- Interactive Brokers account |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Quick Start |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +1. Clone this repository: |
| 22 | +```bash |
| 23 | +git clone https://github.com/petercool/ib-cp-gateway-docker.git |
| 24 | +cd ib-cp-gateway-docker |
| 25 | +``` |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +2. Start the container: |
| 28 | +```bash |
| 29 | +docker compose up -d |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +The gateway will be available at `http://localhost:8000` |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Configuration |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +The gateway configuration is managed through `root/conf.yaml`. Mount this file as a volume to customize the settings: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```yaml |
| 39 | +# Example configuration in docker-compose.yml |
| 40 | +volumes: |
| 41 | + - ./ib_cp_gateway/root:/app/root |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | +
|
| 44 | +## Building Locally |
| 45 | +
|
| 46 | +To build the Docker image locally: |
| 47 | +
|
| 48 | +```bash |
| 49 | +docker compose build |
| 50 | +``` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## Environment Variables |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +No environment variables are required for basic operation. All configuration is handled through the `conf.yaml` file. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +## Security Considerations |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +- The gateway runs on port 8000 by default |
| 59 | +- Consider implementing additional security measures when deploying to production |
| 60 | +- Follow IB's security best practices for API usage |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +## Development |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +### OpenAPI Documentation |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +To format the OpenAPI documentation in a more readable way, you can use the following command: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +```bash |
| 69 | +yq eval -P ./docs/openapi.yml > ./docs/openapi.pretty.yml |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +This command creates a prettified version of the OpenAPI specification. |
