Crude web app to enter transactions into 'Budget with Buckets' files. Purpose of this app is to enter transactions on the mobile phone while on-the-go. This was hacked together to work with a buckets file synced via Synology Drive and a container running on the same Synology device, but it should work with other cloud storage or a different setup altogether.

This is work in progress, needs a lot of polish.

The app is published as a container at cmeury/bread-bucket. Run it as follows. Ensure the source=${HOME}/SynologyDrive/Budget.buckets argument is customized to your setup. Either you share the buckets file using a cloud data store such as Dropbox, Synology Drive, iCloud, etc. and then run the app on a server that also has a local copy of the file, or you just run the application on your device where you also run the Budget with Buckets app.

docker run -it --publish 5000:5000 \
               --mount type=bind,source=${HOME}/SynologyDrive/Budget.buckets,target=/app/db.buckets \
               cmeury/bread-bucket:latest

The container can be customized using the following environment variables:

• DB_FILE: absolute path to buckets data file (default: /app/db.buckets)
• HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME: username for basic auth (default: buckets)
• HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD: password for basic auth (default: dev)

In any case, you need to make the web service available to the outside if you plan on using it on the go, as it is intended. Setup for this various a lot depending on your individual configuration. Example setups for both Synology and unRaid are included in the Wiki.
