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?

hi guys, I managed to deploy actual budget to azure free tier. However the difficulty was Azure Container App does not save state when container shuts down so had to do a. bit of work around - i.e. added a side car to copy db to azure file storage on shut down and on start up added a init command to copy db from azure file share to container. This works and can run completely free for 12 months within Azure's 12 month free service after which will have to pay for Azure Storage depending on usage.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

To make this totally free we support multiple different data store for example Azure offers always free CosmosDb/MomgoDb/SQL Server

Would you be ok with me trying this out and sending you a pull request ?

Teaching and learning

I also have a bash file to create this above mentioned setup in Azure if you want to add to documentation for people who want to host Actual in Azure. May be to add to In the Cloud section
