librelad 875a60f90f LibrePortal v0.1.0 — initial release
A free, open, self-hosted app platform (GNU AGPLv3): one-click app deploys,
Traefik reverse proxy with automatic SSL, rootless Docker support, gluetun
VPN routing, and a web dashboard to manage it all.

Free & open forever to self-host; optional paid hosted services fund it.
See PROMISE.md.

# MoneyApp
Self-hosted money management for one or more users in a household. Recurring rules, projected ledger, budgets, savings goals + compound-interest calculator, and a 12-month forecast with what-if sliders.
Stack: Next.js 15 + SQLite (Drizzle ORM) + Auth.js. Runs as a single Docker container.
## Requirements
- Docker 20.10+ with Compose v2 (`docker compose version` should print v2.x or v5.x)
- Port 3000 free on the host
## Install
```bash
# 1. From inside the MoneyApp folder, create the environment file
cp .env.example .env
# 2. Edit .env and set AUTH_SECRET to a random 32-byte string.
# Generate one with:
echo "AUTH_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)" >> .env
# 3. Build and start
docker compose up -d --build
```
The first build takes 3-5 minutes (it compiles `better-sqlite3` natively and runs `next build` inside the container). Subsequent starts are instant.
Open <http://localhost:3000> and sign up. The first account becomes the household owner.
## Daily commands
| What | Command |
|---|---|
| Start | `docker compose up -d` |
| Stop | `docker compose down` (data preserved) |
| Logs | `docker compose logs -f` |
| Restart after pulling new code | `docker compose up -d --build` |
| Shell inside container | `docker compose exec moneyapp sh` |
## Updating
Replace the source folder with the new version (keep your `.env` and the `moneyapp-data` Docker volume), then:
```bash
docker compose up -d --build
```
Migrations run automatically on container start.
## Backup
The entire database is one SQLite file at `/data/moneyapp.db` inside the container, mounted from the named volume `moneyapp-data`.
```bash
# Snapshot
docker compose exec moneyapp sh -c 'cat /data/moneyapp.db' > backup-$(date +%F).db
# Restore (with the app stopped)
docker compose down
docker run --rm -v moneyapp_moneyapp-data:/data -v "$PWD":/host alpine \
sh -c 'cp /host/backup-2026-05-07.db /data/moneyapp.db'
docker compose up -d
```
## Accessing from other devices on the LAN
By default the container listens on `0.0.0.0:3000`, so from the same network just use the host's IP: `http://<host-ip>:3000`. For HTTPS or remote access, put a reverse proxy (Caddy, Traefik, nginx) in front.
If you do put it behind a domain, update `AUTH_URL` in `.env` to the public URL — Auth.js uses it to construct callback URLs.
## Troubleshooting
- **`set AUTH_SECRET in .env`** on `up` — you skipped step 2 above. Create `.env` and set `AUTH_SECRET`.
- **Port 3000 already in use** — stop whatever else is on 3000, or change the host-side port in `docker-compose.yml` (e.g. `"3001:3000"`).
- **Database looks empty after a rebuild** — that means the volume was removed. `docker compose down` keeps it; `docker compose down -v` deletes it. Restore from a backup if needed.
## Project layout

```
The deployment files stay at the root so it's clear what the installer interacts with. Everything inside `app/` is the application itself — the Dockerfile copies it in during the build.
