Re: Help with jre 21 & BNC 3.20

Hi Richard and Manish,
I'm really glad to see that my project has sparked your interest!
@Manish: I believe you were referring to my setup when you mentioned running IB Gateway in a Docker container. For the past 10 months, I've been using Gonzalo's Docker image, which utilizes BellSoft JRE 11. Specifically, I'm running:
- IB_GATEWAY_VERSION=10.27.1c?
- IBC_VERSION=3.18.0
This setup has been running smoothly without any issues for months now on my raspi. If you need assistance, I'd be more than happy to help you build and run the Docker image on your Raspberry Pi. Running the gateway in a Docker container offers several advantages over running it directly on the host, such as:
- Isolation: Keeps the gateway environment separate from the host system, reducing the risk of conflicts.
- Portability: Easily move the container between different systems without worrying about dependencies.
- Ease of Management: Simplifies updates and maintenance by encapsulating all necessary components within the container.
- Resource Efficiency: Containers typically use fewer resources compared to virtual machines, making them ideal for devices like Raspberry Pi.
However, what I'm aiming to do is upgrade this image to use the latest possible JRE version, along with updating to IB_GATEWAY_VERSION=10.30.1s and IBC_VERSION=3.20.0. My goal is to ensure that the gateway and IBC are running on the most recent and compatible software versions to take advantage of new features and improvements.
I'm truly excited to connect with others working on similar setups because, since the beginning of 2024, I've felt quite alone in running IB Gateway and IBC on a Raspberry Pi! It's great to have a community to collaborate with and share experiences.
Feel free to reach out if you need any help or if you'd like to collaborate on improving the Docker image.
Best regards,
Jonathan
