This project is in development! Expect breaking changes!
After a certain free budgeting app was closed down, I created this app with the goal of a simple and focused app for monthly budgeting and tracking financial goals.
I've created this mostly for personal use, so development will probably be sporadic and guided by whatever I find useful.
Feel free to leave feedback!
Docker Compose
A PostgreSQL database
A SimpleFin Bridge account is highly recommended
You will need to configure the docker-compose.override as follows:
services:
backend:
environment:
- Logging__LogLevel__Default=Information
- POSTGRES_HOST=host
- POSTGRES_DATABASE=database
- POSTGRES_USER=user
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
- CLIENT_URL=https://example.com
- AUTO_UPDATE_DB=false
- EMAIL_SENDER=test@gmail.com,
- EMAIL_SENDER_PASSWORD=yourPassword,
- EMAIL_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com,
ports:
- 8080:8080
client:
build:
args:
- VITE_API_URL=https://example.com
ports:
- 80:80
- 443:443
Option | Details |
---|---|
POSTGRES_HOST | The host for the PostgreSQL database. |
POSTGRES_DATABASE | The postgresql database name. |
POSTGRES_USER | The postgresql database user that budget board will use to connect to and interact with the database. |
POSTGRES_PASSWORD | The user password. |
CLIENT_URL | This is the domain/ip you will use to access your deployed project. If hosting locally this will be http://localhost . |
AUTO_UPDATE_DB | If set to true, the database will automatically be updated when the schema changes. Otherwise, you will need to update it manually. |
EMAIL_SENDER | The email address that will send emails for verification, password resets, etc. |
EMAIL_SENDER_PASSWORD | The password of the email that will send emails for verification, password resets, etc. |
EMAIL_SMTP_HOST | The host server that will send the email. |
ports | The default values here are fine unless you have a reason to change them. |
VITE_API_URL | See CLIENT_URL. These will be the same unless you have a reason to change. |
The ASP.NET app will connect to the database using the parameters provided in docker-compose.override
. These parameters will be configured when setting up the database.
You can configure the ASP.NET app to automatically apply and database schema changes to your database using the AUTO_UPDATE_DB
variable in docker-compose.override
.
WARNING: THIS COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN DATA LOSS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, ESPECIALLY WHILE THE APP IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT!
Budget Board requires an email service to send emails for account password resets. You can configure this in any way you'd like (self-hosted service, paid cloud service, etc.), but an easy way to do this for a small set of users is to create a gmail account.
If you do want to use a gmail account there are many articles online about how to configure a google account get the gmail smtp access.
There are two example nginx.conf files depending on how you would like to deploy.
http://localhost
.Build & deploy by running the following command
docker-compose up --build
