Actual

actual: Personal finance manager with envelope budgeting and local-first data storage

Deploy from this page: TryDirect provisions the server, starts the services, generates the deployment credentials and wires the 2 containers together. Nothing is shared between deployments and no secrets ship with the stack.

What's included

Service	Port	Description
app	5006/tcp (public on 3000)	API server
db	internal	Database

What you configure

• Defaults provided: DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_PORT, DB_USER, POSTGRES_DB, POSTGRES_USER ship prefilled and can be adjusted in the deploy form

All 2 credentials (passwords and keys) are generated per deployment and stored in your project's secret store.

Requirements

• A cloud account connected to TryDirect (the deploy form provisions

the server) or one of your own servers

• A server that fits 2 containers (2 GB RAM or more recommended)

Alternative: deploy with the Stacker CLI

Everything above also works from the command line:

git clone https://github.com/trydirect/awesome-selfhosted-stacker.git
cd awesome-selfhosted-stacker/stacker-projects/actual

# Generate secrets
cp .env.example .env
./scripts/generate-secrets.sh

# Deploy
