Actual Budget is an open-source envelope-style budgeting tool similar to YNAB. It has a self-hostable syncing service so that you can manage your budget across multiple devices.
The reason you might want to do this is that it's probably easier to do full account review sitting at your computer, but you might want to track expenses/receipts on your smartphone while you're away from home.
I just cannot get this working without HTTPS even though it says in the documentation it's not required. I think I'm going with Firefly-iii

Sure but I don't need or want a reverse proxy because I'm not exposing anything over the internet. Besides I have so few services I don't need to aggregate them like this.
Reverse proxy is not specifically for exposing a containerised service on internet, it also helps to enable SSL for all services via single reverse proxy on LAN.
Correct. It refuses to run without https. That is by design.
That's not a great decision for self hosted software
🤷 They probably think they have a good reason for it.
I guess so 😁
I’ve had the same problem with getting Actual set up.
Actual has been great for my partner and me. Highly recommend!
