Server-side synchronization component for Cashier
pip install cashiersync==3.0.5
Cashier Sync is a server-side component that allows syncing Cashier to a local instance of ledger.
It is written in Python and is available for installation via pip (PyPi).
Run cashiersync
from the folder which is setup for use with ledger. Having a configured .ledgerrc is useful, to point to the ledger files (book, prices, etc.) you want to use.
Ledger-cli must be in the path as it will be executed to sync the data.
The synchronization will create the journal file at the current path in the form
cashiersync-date.ledger
Optional: set up a tunnel to your machine so that it is available over the internet.
ssh -R 80:localhost:5000 serveo.net
or
ssh -R cashier:80:localhost:5000 serveo.net
flask run
from cashiersync folder.
Interestingly, when the app is run through cashiersync
entry point, the CORS is not initialized.
But when run with flask run
, it is.
Use a similar script to start, instead of the entry points:
export FLASK_APP=cashiersync.app
flask run
The code above can be placed into a cashiersync
executable script in .local/bin folder, for example.
The server can also run on Android in Termux. All that is needed in such case is to get the book onto the device, possibly using git.
