Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

I'm saying this as someone who used Mint for years due to how it integrated with banks so easily.
I'm currently using Money Manager EX, which is open source. I "self-host" the database file on my NAS, and simply open the file through MM EX' Windows program.
Since it's just a simple database (encrypted, of course), it's easy to back up.
Now, I lost the ability to automatically sync with my bank. This was a blessing in disguise, since it forced me to go over each transaction carefully.
Granted, Mint had me doing the same, but because I spent a lot of time removing duplicates and fixing errors in their sync system. LOL
MM Ex has been very easy to use, and I don't see a need to self-host the software itself.
