Any good self-hosted money tracking software?

I'm obviously biased, but I think fava + beancount is worth the investment. Been using it for over six years now and have never run across anything I couldn't do with it. I even recently wrote a REST API for it and have been using it to make custom dashboards.

Since you've already written a web app, your other alternative would be creating a separate web app that wraps the ledger binary. I did something similar to this with bapi using the beancount binary.

bapi builds off bdantic by creating an HTTP API for interacting with Beancount data. It runs in a container and can pull ledger data locally, from AWS S3, or even from Redis.

Thanks, I was able to install docker in an empty container with an alpine source (I copied the dockerfile from [dcycle/docker-ledger](https://github.com/dcycle/docker-ledger/blob/master/Dockerfile), I guess I just need to get my API on the same container now.
