This project runs a beancount fava server backed by a git repository with support for bidirectional source updates. The server can fetch updates on trigger from webhook (loading changes from local development)
Build the container
docker build -t local/fava .
Run to manage a pre-fetched clone on default listening ports
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 -p 5001:5001 \
-v $HOME/.ssh:/root/.ssh:ro \
-v $PWD:/data \
-e GIT_NAME="Fava" \
-e GIT_EMAIL="fava@example.com" \
-e BEAN_FILE=main.beancount \
local/fava
To trigger fava updates on push to the upstream repository, create a webook for push events pointing to the server at WEBHOOK_PORT.
For a local test, you can use curl:
curl -XPOST localhost:5001
