HI
using on my synology nas the latest image 10.39.1b

setup seems fine, docker starts, and my app connects but as soon as I try to connect via IBAPI I get a timeout.
hope I have all in the custom config but not sure anymore.
trying to login to vnc on the gateway but this won't work anymore

can someone help me on the right track ?

here my files

Have you tried the x11vnc '-ncache' VNC client-side pixel caching feature yet?

The scheme stores pixel data offscreen on the VNC viewer side for faster
retrieval. It should work with any VNC viewer. Try it by running:

x11vnc -ncache 10 ...

One can also add -ncache_cr for smooth 'copyrect' window motion.

Based on the log everything is OK, VNC is up and running and IBC/ibgateway have completed auth.

The timeout that you mention might be coming from IBKR itself, i don't see anything abnormal with that. I get timeouts from time to time.

VNC should work based on your port mapping. Make sure you are using the right IP and port on the client side.

I looks like ibgateway docker image is doing it's part. for the timeouts you would need to ckeck TWS API itself.

thx for checking.
right, I found the correct IP and VNC is running.

checked the settings and funnily the trusted Ips have not been set.
is there a setting where I need to tell the config.ini to "allowConnectionsFromLocaIHOstOnly = false" ?

now when connecting I still get the timeout error and on VNC the API client is then showing as disconnected.
but here I will check my program.. funnily it was working on a local machine for a year ..
