Docker

This is the easiest way to run SSS

docker run -t -v "/path/to/your/save-folder:/config" \
	-v "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro" \
	-e "SALT=somerandomstring" \
	-p "9001:9001" \
	gonzague/spendspentspent

The SALT environment variable is required especially if you want to use password protection to the application. Once set, do not change it while running against the same config folder.

With docker compose:

 sss:
  container_name: sss
  image: gonzague/spendspentspent
  restart: unless-stopped
  ports:
   - "9001:9001"
  volumes:
   - ./SpendSpentSpent/config:/config
   - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
  environment:
   SALT: somerandomstring
