Firefly III: A personal finances manager

[scooke]

@thetomester13 Oh man, if this goes live on Cloudron it'll make the start of the year AMAZING! Thank you all for working on it!

[murgero]

This is an exciting package to get rolling. I have been wanting this for a while but never got around to packaging it myself. Great work!

[girish]

@thetomester13 I have moved the repo to https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/firefly-iii-app. It contains the LDAP fix. You should have permissions to the repo as well.

As for the box release, that will take a week (hopefully next week). For the moment, you can just apply https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/commit/602b335c0e96c9ef58ee39971b452ccd437c5c8f by hand. Just edit /home/yellowtent/box/src/ldap.js on the server and make the above change. Then sudo systemctl restart box.

I have published this app in unstable now.

[murgero]

@girish I do not see this app in unstable on my end, are we waiting until the next cloudron release?

[girish]

Oops, indeed. Forgot to mention that this requires Cloudron 4.4.4. You can try this on the demo cloudron which is already updated to 4.4.4 (https://my.demo.cloudron.io - username and password is cloudron).

[thetomester13]

@girish sweet, I was able to get the app up and running with the change to the LDAP file, going to start working on some tests now! I'll update this thread with progress.

[murgero]

Has anyone figured out how to get Spectre working properly? Once I do the initial import (which works VERY well) it fails subsequent imports.

[timbo]

Works quite well but i have the "locales"-problem on Cloudron.
https://github.com/firefly-iii/help/wiki/Missing-locale-packages

Installing them manually does not help(?). Is this a Cloudron-thing?

[thetomester13]

@murgero I actually haven't used Firefly before this (was waiting for the 'perfect' setup..). Do subsequent imports happen automatically? Or does the user need to trigger it? I know there's a cron that's supposed to run once per day and I believe that's set up properly in the CloudronManifest, but not sure how to test that that is doing its job properly.

@timbo when did you last pull the project's code? That was an issue originally, but should have been solved with some more recent updates.

i just installed the "unstable"-Version from the App Store.

[thetomester13]

@timbo @girish which version is currently packaged as the unstable app on the Store?

[jdaviescoates]

@thetomester13 looks like it's 4.8.2 as per https://cloudron.io/appstatus.html (it also tells you this when you click on Firefly in the app store)

[girish]

@thetomester13 Just noticed that you have already started on some tests. I will get it merged now and also update the package to 5.0.0

[girish]

@thetomester13 I have merged your test branch, thanks for writing the tests! I have published 5.0.0 and moved the app to stable. Do you want to inform the upstream project about this package? Maybe we can add it to https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii#get-started ?

[thetomester13]

@girish I was going to try and close the loop on some of those automated tests but thanks for crossing the finish line for me there! Glad this can be a nice addition to the Cloudron App Store portfolio! I definitely plan on updating the Firefly III repo to link to the App Store as well.

[timbo]

i still get the formatting error as stated before though

[girish]

@timbo Yes, I was just updating the package adding the popular locales.

[timbo]

Sorry for hitting you up again but i still get the problem, even after uninstall and a fresh install with the package being last updated "about 10 minutes" ago. i even made sure that the right locales are installed on my root and rebootet the server.

[girish]

@timbo The locales have to be installed in the app package and not on the server. I just pushed the update now (package version 1.1.0). Can you try on that? Just install a new ff to get the latest package or updates -> check for updates.
