Hi everyone!

I have been using Grisbi for at least 15 years now to get around personal finances/expense tracking.

It is a very basic tool that tracks expenses, clearances, etc… Nothing crazy but it helps a lot to follow your budget, keep things on track. Everything is backed up through a file that I sync with Nextcloud.

For some reasons, I won’t be able to use it as easily in the coming months (new restrictions on my work laptop) so I’m looking for a Web-based selfhost-friendly alternative. I’ve already narrowed it down to 3:

Firefly III which looks pretty nice (and PHP is kind of a plus in my case)
Actual Budget which looks pretty cool too
Kresus much more barebone but might get the job done eventually

Do you have some feedback on any of those applications? Do you know any other alternatives worth looking at? Have you had the same kind of experience going from Gnucash/Grisbi/other to Web-based app?

I have my own personal finance tracker, Keizai. I found mainly Firefly III as bloated and since I wanted a simple, straight-forward finance tracker, I created my own.

Please bare in mind that Keizai is not yet finished. The development is still on-going, but it's a slow process. I have multiple projects in hand and with autism and other plans for a better, more healthier life, the development for all my projects tend to be slow.

And yes, you can self-host Keizai.

It would be awesome if you could Dockerise this!

I agree, but I don't know how yet :( Need to read more about it. I love and prefer Docker in most cases, so I want to Dockerise my projects.
