Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Would be a nice feature if you could stop asking me to register, sync to the cloud and sign in to my bank.

Every time I log into the gui it gives me a silly warning about not being able to sync to the cloud, kind of defeats the purpose of self hosting a docker image, and the last thing I would ever do is allow this software access to my bank, specially if I have registered for the "cloud" syncing service.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Remove/disable these features for self hosting.

Teaching and learning

By not having these features pushed into your face at every turn will go a long way for future users to trust this software.

👋 Hey! Actual has no centralized "cloud". The notification prompts you to register your file because if you don't, it won't be backed up to your server. Disabling this feature would mean you would lose all your data if you ever cleared your browser cache. Again, the registration is with your server; if you like, you can run the server in an airgapped environment with a strict CSP and all functionality will still work*.

Feel free to let us know if you have more questions!

*Except update notifications—those ping GitHub for the latest release, but are not essential/can be allowed to fail.
