In addition, it uses the IBC Project to manage the configuration and launch of the ©IBGateway; and serve a VNC server to control the IBC / IBGateway interface.

Current versions:

Interactive Brokers Gateway: v981.3c
IBC: v3.12.0

You can find the latest version of this image on docker-hub: mgvazquez/ibgateway

      - "5900:5900"
    environment:
      - VNC_PASSWORD=<vnc_pass_change_me>

      - TWSUSERID=<usr_change_me>
