Thanks for the pointer John.

Looks like I'm going to have to learn Python to go down this route.

>From what I can find with quick google searches seems to suggest that the Flask 
App captures the output from GnuCash and then via Flask, Python and possibly 
Node.JS renders an HTML output which is then severed via apache or similar web 
server.

I will sit down later and see if a) my initial assessment is correct and b) the level of 
new procedures I need to get an understand of.

Cheers
Robert

Hello Robert and list. 
There IS a Python Flask app in the GitHub repo that might work. Documentation is 
scant, and it requires Python bindings compiled into the binary which, I am lead to 
believe, is only available out-of-the-box in Linux binaries so you might be in luck. I'm 
sure others on this list will know if it is at all viable.
Thanks and thanks for gnucash!

I have a a number of small, separate, but interconnected companies that I'd like to
have separate accounting systems for.

Does GnuCash allow for multiple businesses, or would I need to install a separate
version for each business

It's a little unclear if GnuCash operates, or can be made to operate, via a remote
web browser. I see references to using X-windows which would be an acceptable
option, web/browser based would be my preference.

Is there any restrictions on the self hosted version.
