Claiming "self hosted" or "self-hostable" is a bit weird without a Dockerfile being provided, I think. That's not a mean-spirited comment, I just think most people would expect it as it's the standard for relatively quick and easy deployment (in my case for testing). If you're one of those people you might appreciate the hint that someone has made a Dockerfile, it's just not merged yet. https://github.com/filipeforat…

There’s an issue that I created a while ago but I never got it working. Good to know that someone got further than I did!

The biggest hurdle for me with these tools is CSV import - banks are so crappy with them. If only we had a universal banking API system that all these tools could tap into. "Challenger" banks like Monzo and N26 and so on could unite behind a form of OAuth for banks that would kick ass.

You may find https://github.com/reubano/csv2ofx useful. It coverts csv files to qif and ofx. It has built in support for numerous banks, and can be easily customized to parse unsupported csv formats.

Would be cool if this was mashed up with "Build your own Mint" https://github.com/yyx990803/build-your-own-mint, which leverages your own dev account on Plaid and pushes data to google sheets. It lacks a UI for analysis though, which this project here does nicely.
