## What it is
A Docker image that runs Interactive Brokers Gateway or TWS headlessly with IBC for automated login control, Xvfb, VNC access, and socat for TCP relaying. It enables unattended, containerized IBKR trading infrastructure for algorithmic trading setups.

## Use cases
- run ib gateway in docker headlessly
- automate interactive brokers login for trading bot
- deploy ibkr gateway on a server for algo trading
- run tws without human interaction in a container
- host ib gateway for paper and live trading in parallel
- connect a trading bot to ib gateway remotely

## When to choose
- you need unattended IB Gateway/TWS for automated or quant trading
- you want reproducible containerized IBKR infrastructure with secrets and SSH tunnel support
- you run on ARM hosts like Raspberry Pi or Apple Silicon

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI trading workstation rather than an API gateway backend
- you don't trade through Interactive Brokers
- you can't run Docker or containers in your environment
