Show HN: Mini-spend-tracker – a self-hosted server for tracking your spendings
Have you had a look into plain text accounting like e.g. https://beancount.github.io/ ?
Also written in Python, loads of tooling around it. Might be even good to “just” as the database.

Recommendations for easy financial management
I used Beancount + Fava for a web UI for years. It stores everything in plaintext files, but the downside is you either have to manually enter everything or probably write a script to import csv/qfx from your bank(s).

Trying to get started...
The beancount documentation has some good background material, and the concepts apply to ledger as well.

Customizing Fava (a python application)
I track my personal finances using beancount. I have a plugin that I wrote for myself, which in beancount is a python module that is installed in the same python environment as beancount is.

Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager
Fighting with Mint and categorizing Amazon purchases was what initially pushed me down the path into plain text accounting (PTA).
I ended up long down the rabbit hole with auto-downloading Amazon orders (originally with https://github.com/jbms/finance-dl, but then my own custom scraping) and importing and matching them up with credit card transactions using beancount-import (https://github.com/jbms/beancount-import).
This ultimately resulted in me spending a lot less on Amazon - to the point that now doing it manually wouldn't be too bad...
-
Beancount getting started - how to
I personally started with beancount-import to process QFX/OFX files from my bank. It's a nice product, because it automatically joins both sides of a transaction for transfers/payments from one bank to another, and has some auto-categorization features. But it does take some work to understand and get running.
-
Dealing with existing entries in beancount-import
Some skimming of the OFX import code indicates that the importer manages the duplicate detection itself. Since it looks like you need to pretty much write a CSV importer yourself, you'd probably have to manage the uniqueness using some identifier from the CSV file.

-
Tracking prices of products
These HTML are stored in a common folder, then parsed by beancount-import using the built-in importer for Amazon Invoice HTML files from that project. The author of that project wrote/uses finance-dl to get his Amazon invoices. At one point, his download code wasn't working for me, so I wrote my own. Independently, for reasons I no longer remember.

Trouble with setting up beancount-import
Now, I'm trying to set up the bean-import (https://github.com/jbms/beancount-import) module but i have run in to some problems.
-
How do you handle the same transaction coming from multiple sources?
I handle them with Beancount and beancount-import. beancount-import identifies duplicate transactions and merges them automatically. It handles both the case where two import sources have the same transaction (e.g. your bank account/credit card situation) and the case where there's an existing manually-entered transaction that also exists in an import source.
-
How do you use Beancount?
What I use a lot is https://github.com/jbms/beancount-import. Since I know a bit of python I was able tweak the importer for my bank statements. It helps a lot.

Bank balance and the delay in transactions posting- how to solve
I use beancount-import which does a great job of allowing for multiple sources of data (including manual entries) and matching up postings from multiple sources. It helps a lot for my particular use.
-
Interactive tool to match imported transactions against already existing manual entries
It's the wrong underlying toolset (beancount instead of ledger), but otherwise you're describing how beancount-import works.
