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.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I bounced off of Actual when I realized how clunky its goal templating is. I want to be able to have all my categories fill in a single click but the goal templates are hidden behind an experimental feature.

Yeah, it's not perfect, but it works well enough to get what I wanted: see unexpected expenses from my vast array of credit cards. I've caught fraudulent transactions my bank didn't, so that's nice.

I don't actually do strict budgeting with it, I mostly just want to see generally where our money is being spent, and I prefer to keep those transactions as private as possible (well, outside of my banks selling my transaction data to data brokers, that is...).

Ah. Yeah I'm trying to find an alternative to YNAB since they keep upping their annual fees but the service works so well for me that the price is probably worth it anyway.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yup, probably.

But hey, there are free options (Actual and Firefly), so there's no harm in trying them out. If you can replicate your setup in YNAB, you might just save yourself some money. But definitely don't ditch it until you've gotten everything set up first.
