Deployment

There are a number of deployment options for persistently running rustfava on the Web, depending on your Web server and WSGI deployment choices. Below you can find some examples.

Apache with reverse proxy

Apache configuration:

ProxyPass "/rustfava" "http://localhost:5000/rustfava"

The above will make rustfava accessible at the /rustfava URL and proxy requests arriving there to a locally running rustfava. To make rustfava work properly in that context, you should run it using the --prefix command line option, like this:

rustfava --prefix /rustfava /path/to/your/main.beancount

To have rustfava run automatically at boot and manageable as a system service you might want to define a systemd unit file for it, for example:

[Unit]
Description=Rustfava Web UI for Beancount

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rustfava --host localhost --port 5000 --prefix /rustfava /path/to/your/main.beancount
User=your-user
