Dcycle Docker Ledger

Dockerized version of the Ledger-cli accounting software, automatically updated weekly.

Features

• Free and open-source.
• No GUI, this project is strictly command-line.
• Double-entry accounting system: data entry will fail if your numbers do not add up.
• This docker image is automatically rebuilt weekly with the latest code, and made available on the Docker hub.
