Usage

Hledger-web

By default, container will start hledger-web on port 5000, reading journal hledger.journal from volume data, so assuming your journal is in ~/journals/all.journal, you can run:

docker run --rm -d -e HLEDGER_JOURNAL_FILE=/data/all.journal -v "$HOME/journals:/data" -p 5000:5000 --user $(id --user) dastapov/hledger

and navigate to http://localhost:5000 for hledger-web

If you have LEDGER_FILE environmed variable defined already, you can try:

docker run --rm -d -e HLEDGER_JOURNAL_FILE=/data/$(basename $LEDGER_FILE) -v "$(dirname $LEDGER_FILE):/data" -p 5000:5000 --user $(id --user) dastapov/hledger

Github repo contains helper script that simplifies invocation:

./run.sh ~/journals/all.journal web

Environment variables

  • HLEDGER_JOURNAL_FILE
    • input file (default: /data/hledger.journal)
  • HLEDGER_HOST
    • set the TCP host (default: 0.0.0.0)
  • HLEDGER_PORT
    • set the TCP port (default: 5000)
  • HLEDGER_DEBUG
    • debug output (default: 1, increase for more)
  • HLEDGER_BASE_URL
  • HLEDGER_FILE_URL
    • set the static files url (default: $HLEDGER_BASE_URL/static)
  • HLEDGER_RULES_FILE
    • CSV conversion rules file (default: /data/hledger.rules)

hledger cli in the shell

You can use this image to run command-line version of hledger (or hledger-iadd, hledger-ui, ...) by providing alternative start command to docker run.

You can just drop into a shell in the container and run hledger there (remember to include -it):

docker run --rm -it -v "$HOME/hledger-data:/data" --user $(id --user) dastapov/hledger bash

Github repo contains helper script that simplifies invocation:

./run.sh ~/journals/all.journal bash

hledger cli via docker run

You can use docker run to invoke hledger directly:

docker run --rm -v "$HOME/hledger-data:/data" --user $(id --user) dastapov/hledger hledger -f /data/hledger.journal stats

Make sure you provide --rm argument to docker run, otherwise your containers will be kept in the container registry even after you are done with them, which is probably not what you want.

Using image for hledger development

You can use the supplied Dockerfile to get yourself an image for hledger development. Build target dev will get you Debian-based image with stack and all the build dependencies of hledger installed:

docker image build --tag hledger-dev --target dev .

Alternatively, you can use pre-built image via latest-dev or VERSION-dev tags:

docker run --rm -it -v "$HOME/hledger-data:/data" dastapov/hledger:latest-dev bash
