fix8mt/ufegw repository overview

⁠The UFEGW and Management Console in a demo Docker container!

In the demo you can ...

1. Set up your own custom FIX sessions using our Universal Fix Engine © Gateway (UFEGW)
2. Monitor and interact with your sessions in the dashboard views
3. Query your FIX sessions with the graphical FIX log viewer
4. Create server configurations from scratch, or from provided templates
5. Download logs
6. Manage users

⁠1. Quick Start

The demo runs in a Docker command that has two custom user values and requires two ports to be available:

Substituting for the above values, run:

docker run --name=ufegw --network=host --volume [LOCAL_DIR]:/var/lib/redis -env HOST_IP=[HOST_IP] fix8mt/ufegw:latest

For example:

docker run --name=ufegw --network=host --volume /opt:/var/lib/redis -env HOST_IP=192.168.0.76 fix8mt/ufegw:latest

After loading, the demo frontend will serve to:

http://[HOST_IP]:55800

In our example:

http://192.168.0.76:55800

The demo is bundled with its own internal documentation. When the start page has loaded, the Starter Guide button will appear in the top right of the screen. Click this to read an introductory tutorial on the demo's functionality.

⁠2. Deployment

The demo offers a graphical front end as well as other functionality for user code and components.

This functionality is delivered through various ports in the demo container. By default these ports are in the range 55700-55851:

Please ensure that ports corresponding to the above services are made available to the network.

The demo is designed for deployment on Docker for Linux.

If you wish to run the container over a network using SSH portforwarding, it is important to specify the HOST_IP as the localhost of the machine, e.g.:

docker run --name=ufegw --network=host --volume /home/user:/var/lib/redis --env HOST_IP=127.0.0.1 fix8mttest/ufegw:latest

Connecting to the machine would still require using the network IP, eg:

ssh -fNTg user@[NETWORK_IP] -L 55800:localhost:55800 -L 55810:localhost:55810

⁠3. Troubleshooting

1. I can't log in to the demo via the local machine where the demo is running and/or via the network This is usually due to incorrect networks settings. Check you have specified the correct network HOST_IP in the Docker command. Ensure that all the relevant ports are made available for the machine on the network. The UFEGW Console uses ports in the range 55700-55851. Ports 55850 and 55851 are essential for operating the web app component on the network.

2. Something isn't behaving as expected, what do I do? Please contact us! You can email us at [email protected]⁠, or submit a message. From the Console you can download the application logs - these can be retrieved from the About screen in the demo, or on the front (login) page of the demo by pressing ctrl+d and clicking DEBUG. When you have retrieved the logs send them through to the email address above.

⁠4. More info

Fix8Pro is a commercially supported C++ development toolkit and runtime engine designed to provide FIX connectivity to user applications. Fix8Pro provides an API and framework that you can quickly develop a FIX interface on. Fix8Pro is flexible enough to work with any standard FIX version or custom variant. Fix8Pro supports multiple, scalable concurrent inbound and outbound connections.

UFEGW is a standalone FIX gateway that can speak any FIX variant (you control this by compiling your own XML schemas using Fix8Pro), handle multiple sessions reliably and robustly as well as delivering high performance. Downstream systems connect via ZeroMQ. FIX sessions can accept requests from downstream clients (REQ/REP) and can broadcast to downstream subscribers (PUB/SUB). We often refer to UFE as the UFEGW or UFE Gateway.
