I don’t have a home server yet but I’m exploring and sometimes I get confused about some posts here.
For example I saw a post asking for recommendation for a “self hosted budget management app”. Can’t you just install this type of app to your phone or pc? What’s the purpose here, will you host it and access it from a browser? Or do you only want to backup its data to your server?
I hope I don’t sound stupid please enlighten me.
I don’t have a replacement yet, but I plan to look at Firefly III.
Firefly is great, and I’m still on an older version that just works. Takes some effort to get imports auto classified, but once you do it’s stupid fast to categorize your spending and see trends.
My wife loooooves when I spend my evening going through my latest batch of unclassified firefly transactions. But the perfect pie chart is worth it.
I use firefly for spending categorization. I haven’t gotten into any of the budgeting stuff.
IMO the biggest drop off from mint is the lack of automated synchronizing of account transactions. I’m currently just dumping transaction csv’s monthly and importing then, which is easy enough.
