Hello,
is there a "official standard docker container" around here, or could someone set it up, such that I just plug it in and have everything installed?
This would circumvent all the hassle i had and still having.

It should contain all the beancount and related ackages like the importers, fava, etc.
Thanks!

Check out https://github.com/beancount/fava/tree/master/contrib/docker . It should have everything you need.

If you are looking for something more compact/properly versioned, you can try https://hub.docker.com/r/yegle/fava

I am not able to see the fava frontend on my host system's (win10) browser (firefox) on http://localhost:5000/:

>>docker run -v hostPath:/containerPath --publish 5000:5000 mybeanimage:v1
>>[...] [shelling into the container] [...]
>>Running Fava on http://localhost:5000


did anyone have similar problems? anyone solved them or found a workaround?

Hi,


are you using "Docker desktop" (requires win10 professional) or the (old) "Docker Toolbox" which also runs on windows 10 home edition.

I've had issues with docker toolbox where I then needed to use the ip address that is used in the virtualbox (192.168.99.100) instead of localhost

Regards,

Patrick

I am using docker desktop.

I finally managed to get fava running in my browser based on the yegle/fava docker image. thanks for providing!
@yegle one questino:
when i shell into that container when running, basic commands like ls, chmod, touch, cd  are unknown. is this some sort of special unix version that does not have it? I did not manage to us beancount like "bean-check main.bean".
thanks!
