💖 FAVA(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the fava manual page — it's a User Commands situation, and it's giving the web interface for the double-entry accounting tool Beancount. yes really. your spreadsheets are about to get a glow-up. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

fava,</purgle> — Web interface for the double-entry accounting tool Beancount 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

python -m fava.cli [OPTIONS] [FILENAMES]...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Start Fava for FILENAMES on http://<host>:<port>. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

If the BEANCOUNT_FILE environment variable is set, Fava will use the files given there in addition to FILENAMES — and the delimiter situation is lowkey platform-dependent, so listen up: it's ; on Windows and : on POSIX. no cap. 🌈

also!! you can specify command-line options via environment variables with the FAVA_ prefix. for example, --host=0.0.0.0 is equivalent to setting the environment variable FAVA_HOST=0.0.0.0. iykyk. 😌

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -p, --port <port> — the port to listen on. [default: 5000] ⭐
  • -H, --host <host> — the host to listen on. [default: localhost] 🏠
  • --prefix TEXT — set an URL prefix. cute little prefix moment. 🎀
  • --incognito — run in incognito mode and obscure all numbers. 🙈 your finances, but mysterious.
  • --read-only — run in read-only mode, disable any change through Fava. hands off the keyboard bestie. 🔒
  • -d, --debug — turn on debugging. 🔥
  • --profile — turn on profiling. Implies --debug. 👑
  • --profile-dir PATH — output directory for profiling data. 📁
  • --poll-watcher — use old polling-based watcher. retro. nostalgic. the old ways. 💀
  • --version — show the version and exit. ⭐
  • --help — show this message and exit. 🫶
