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, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
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.

- 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.
