Actual Budget was a startup that didn't work out, so the founder open-sourced it. It's self-hosted at the moment (I think there are some 3rd parties you can spin up an instance on). My big hangup with it had been that it didn't automatically sync, but that's been fixed in NA and Europe (SimpleFin, a Plaid sync extension is in the works)
This is more a budgeting tool than a Financial analytics tool, but it'll sort and filter the data, and report features are being built out (They exist in the 'experimental' section)

Creation is done by running migrations [1] (invoked via Laravel's artisan command line). Using the database is done via Models[2].

I've been using Firefly iii for about 3 years now. I use it with Waterfly iii [1] so anytime I get an SMS or notification from my bank about any kind of transaction, Waterfly automatically parses text from the notification and auto-fills transaction details like the amount, transaction title and date.
Makes it super easy to maintain proper history since you can instantly create transactions from your phone.

The UI is definitely not as polished as the other alternatives listed, but I made my own because at the time Firefly was not exactly right for me - https://github.com/VMelnalksnis/Gnomeshade. It can automatically import transactions using Nordigen, or you can upload a file exported from your bank if you don't want to use a third party service. It also supports multi currency transactions, and sharing accounts between multiple accounts.
My main irritation is that Plaid used to be free if you were just using it with a few institutions, but is going to be paid-only in a few months. The prices do seem fairly reasonable ($.30/institution/month for transactions), so I'll probably stick with it.
