What Actual Budget does

Actual Budget is a local-first, open-source personal finance app built on envelope budgeting. It stores data locally, supports multi-currency budgets, customizable categories, bank import integrations, and optional end-to-end encrypted sync via your own server.

Install Flow

How to self-host Actual Budget

Actual Budget can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Actual Budget does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for Actual Budget Docker, Actual Budget Docker Compose, or self-host Actual Budget, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

What people run it for

Track household spending by creating budget envelopes for groceries, rent, utilities, entertainment, and other categories to see exactly where your money goes.

Sync your budget across multiple devices (phone, tablet, laptop) by running your own self-hosted sync server.

Import bank transactions automatically via goCardless or SimpleFIN to keep your accounts reconciled without manual entry.

Use end-to-end encryption to keep your financial data private even when using the sync feature.
