docker pull kilerd/zhang:latest
docker run --name zhang -v "/your/data/path:/data" -p "8000:8000" kilerd/zhang:latest

This will pull the latest Zhang Docker image and run it, exposing the service on port 8000.

Features

• Independent Directive: all directives in zhang are independent, you can write them in any file with any order.
• More Precise Control: features, like commodity decimal precision and datetime supported for directive, provide more control
• Document Management Enhancement: zhang has a good document management feature to allow you collect and control document easier and effective, like receipts.
• New Functionalities: The latest version introduces enhanced budget management, improved error handling, and support for multiple currencies.

Compatibility with beancount

beancount and zhang are both text based accounting tools, and they are some familiar.

But zhang deprecates some directives, like note, pad and push_tag, and also evolves some directives, like balance. So your beancount file may not be compatible with zhang, we will provide a tool to convert beancount format to zhang format, and vice versa.
