What do you host for your finances and why! (self.selfhosted)

Inspired by a comment on my last post.

I feel like I never have a solution that allows me to control it while also being automated to such a degree that I don’t have a huge confusing backup if I don’t do finances for days or weeks.

I have Firefly III and am really quiet happy with it. I might write a companion program to scan bill though, since doing everything by hand is rather time consuming.

I just drooled a little at the thought of integration with Paperless.

I didn't read the whole article, just a cursory glance really, but it seems like that is the exact other way around that I would want it.

I'm thinking of scanning a paper bill with my phone, extracting the text and matching parts of the text to firefly fields, like transaction description, source account, destination account, amount and maybe categories/tags.

Is there a mobile app that syncs with self hosted?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, but it's incompatible with the way I handle access control. I think I did it with Remote User authentication, which breaks all the login mechanisms of diverse apps, even though it's officially supported by the projects. That's why I only choose projects where the frontend is a PWA or they support oidc.

So I just installed the PWA, which works great.
