    What happened, exactly? The docker compose file and the associated files should work out of the box.

    The difference isn't very big, but I honestly (I wrote that page) believe that the difference is worth pointing out.

    Firefly III is 100% multi-currency. Even budgets, bills, anything.

    Technically speaking, it's not really necessary. It does help to validate database consistency, because the sum of all transactions is zero. It also prevents you (from an architect…

    Firefly III is missing plenty of features (see below). I started Firefly III with a single user (me) and everything else is a bonus. https://docs.firefly-iii.org/firefly-iii/about-…

    I have 10 years in my own installation, running on a Pi2. Seems to be fine.

    I built a new website, should be up in a few minutes (CDN etc)

    Apologies. Firefly III tracks the IP's you login with and warns you when a new one appears. For a demo site that gets slashdotted, that is less than convenient. The issue is fixed …

    That's still double entry actually, because it refers to the DB structure ;)

    I started with budgets and categories. Budgets for the money (I had like five budgets) and as many categories as you want. They are basically the same thing. Max one category/budge…

    Oh well, it’s just a hobby you know? And I guess people who need financial management tools aren’t people looking for more expenses ;) I’m happy with every donation. I use it to pa…

    Yeah that’s bloody annoying but I haven’t been able to fix it yet. Laravel, the underlying framework has moved to a new way of reporting login errors and my code hasn’t been adapte…

    It’s under high load I’m afraid. It’s a very small instance over at AWS and I’m getting hugged to death.

    I don’t have to monetize it. It’s a hobby. But the website provides a good platform to host the docs and I can live with the ads they serve. I assure you they don’t pay me for the …
