#### Self-hosted Actual Budget: sync server and web UI in one snap

Actual Budget is a local-first personal finance app built around envelope budgeting. Your data lives on your own machine, and this snap runs the piece that syncs it between your devices.

Packages `@actual-app/sync-server` together with the built `@actual-app/web` frontend, so one install gives you both the sync API and the web UI on a single port. Built from `actualbudget/actual` at tag `v26.8.0`.

After install, browse to <http://localhost:5006>

REACHING IT FROM ANOTHER MACHINE REQUIRES HTTPS

Actual's budget engine uses `SharedArrayBuffer`, which browsers only expose over HTTPS or on localhost. Browsing to `http://<server-ip>:5006` loads the page and then fails with a `SharedArrayBuffer` error - this is a transport problem, not a broken install. A VPN address is no different; it is still an IP. Put it behind a reverse proxy with a real certificate, or use an SSH tunnel to test:

$ ssh -L 5006:localhost:5006 user@server

Configuration and data live in `$SNAP_COMMON`, so both survive refreshes and reverts. Back up `/var/snap/vsingh-actual/common/data` and you have backed up everything.

This is an unofficial package. Actual Budget is maintained by the Actual Budget community, building on the application originally open-sourced by James Long.
