⁠Volumes

Ensure that the necessary volumes are created and correctly mounted. The volumes should be structured as follows:

For MetaTrader 5: /var/lib/docker/volumes/wine/_data/mt5
For MetaTrader 4: /var/lib/docker/volumes/wine/_data/mt4

These paths should contain the respective MetaTrader installations.

⁠Environment Variables
⁠DISPLAY:

This environment variable should be set to the display you want to use. It is necessary for GUI applications to render correctly.

Make sure that you have the correct permissions to access the X11 socket and .Xauthority file. Ensure Wine is correctly set up in the container to support MetaTrader applications.

⁠Allow Connections to X Server:

Use xhost + to allow any user to connect to the X server.
