This is the main project to run [Actual](XXX), a local-first personal finance tool. It comes with the latest version of Actual, and a server to persist changes and make data available across all devices.
## Running
It's very easy to get started. Clone this repo, install deps, and start it:
Go to https://localhost:5006 in your browser and you'll see Actual.
## Deploying
You should deploy your server so it's always running. We recommend [fly.io](https://fly.io) which makes it incredibly easy and provides a free plan.
[Create an account](https://fly.io/app/sign-in). Once you see the credit card page, you don't actually have to enter it. Just navigate to https://fly.io/apps to see the dashboard.
Next, [install the `flyctl`](https://fly.io/docs/flyctl/installing/) utility. Run `flyctl auth login` to sign into your account.
**Note:** if you don't want to use fly, we still provide a `Dockerfile` to build the app so it should work anywhere that can compile a docker image.
### Non-technical users
We are looking into a feature for one-button click click deployment of Actual. This will reduce the friction for people not as comfortable with the command line.
