Hi Community
I always wanted to provide my partner with a fava interface for our joint ledger without requiring her to do any setup, so that she has full access & transparency to our bookkeeping. She quite likes clicking through it :)

The result is https://github.com/Dr-Nuke/dockerbeans

This is a small docker-driven application that exposes the fava interface of a beancount ledger to the local network It pulls the ledger daily from a (private, optionally git-crypt-encrypted) github ledger repo.

Maybe someone finds it useful :)

...and what was your Christmas project? :D

Thanks to all the authors & contributors for the amazing beancount framework.

All have a good start into the new year!
Best,
-nugget

Aha, I'm not the only one centrally hosting fava. But I wanted read-write for the option to make occasional changes from my phone.

For inspiration, I'm using an iteration of this script which detects local changes and pushes after a delay. Collisions are handled by rebase if possible, hard reset otherwise.


I've been too lazy to build and save my own image, so my entry point runs pip every time to get dashboards and other plugins. Auth is via family-only WiFi (separate from guest and even home automation) and Traefik middleware.
