MetaTrader 5 + xRDP – Debian 13/Ubuntu 24.04.

Systemvoraussetzungen & Performance-Skalierung

Um eine stabile Performance (Latenz < 10ms, keine UI-Hänger) zu gewährleisten, gelten folgende Richtwerte pro Instanz:

Komponente	Erste Instanz	Jede weitere Instanz
vCPU	1 Core (min. 2.5 GHz)	+ 0.5 – 1 Core
RAM	2 – 4 GB	+ 1 – 2 GB
Speicher	20 GB NVMe/SSD	+ 2 GB (Logs/History)

Empfehlung: Ab 10 Instanzen sollte auf einen dedizierten Server mit min. 32 GB RAM und 8-16 Cores gewechselt werden.

Guide (Deutsch)

1. System vorbereiten & Desktop-Umgebung (XFCE)

XFCE ist aufgrund des geringen Overheads die stabilste Wahl für Trading-Server.

# Update repositories and install XFCE with xRDP
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xorg dbus-x11 x11-xserver-utils xrdp -y

# Configure xRDP to use XFCE
echo "xfce4-session" > ~/.xsession
sudo systemctl restart xrdp

2. Benutzerverwaltung & Zugangskontrolle

Wir erstellen eine Gruppe ts-users, um den Zugriff auf RDP einzuschränken.

# Create a management group for RDP access
sudo groupadd ts-users

# Create a new trader user
sudo adduser trader1
sudo usermod -aG ts-users trader1

# Restrict xRDP access to this group
# Edit /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini -> TerminalServerUsers=ts-users
sudo sed -i 's/TerminalServerUsers=ts-users/TerminalServerUsers=ts-users/g' /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini
sudo systemctl restart xrdp

3. MetaTrader 5 Installation (via Wine)

Das offizielle Skript automatisiert die Wine-Konfiguration.

# Download and run official MetaQuotes installer
# Run as the user who will use MT5, NOT as root
wget https://download.mql5.com/cdn/web/metaquotes.software.corp/mt5/mt5linux.sh
chmod +x mt5linux.sh
./mt5linux.sh

Guide (English)

1. System Preparation & Desktop Environment (XFCE)

XFCE provides the best stability and lowest resource footprint for terminal servers.

# Update repositories and install XFCE with xRDP
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xorg dbus-x11 x11-xserver-utils xrdp -y

# Configure xRDP to use XFCE session
echo "xfce4-session" > ~/.xsession
sudo systemctl restart xrdp

2. User Management & Access Control

Using a dedicated group ts-users to manage RDP permissions.

# Create a management group for RDP access
sudo groupadd ts-users

# Create a new trader user
sudo adduser trader1
sudo usermod -aG ts-users trader1

# Restrict xRDP access to members of the specific group
# Modify the sesman configuration for access control
sudo sed -i 's/TerminalServerUsers=ts-users/TerminalServerUsers=ts-users/g' /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini
sudo systemctl restart xrdp

3. MetaTrader 5 Installation (via Wine)

Using the official automated script for optimized Wine settings.

# Download and run official MetaQuotes installer script
# Execute this as the specific user, avoid using sudo for the script itself
wget https://download.mql5.com/cdn/web/metaquotes.software.corp/mt5/mt5linux.sh
chmod +x mt5linux.sh
./mt5linux.sh
