Hey @jlongster,

congrats on the big re-launch as open source project! Being a FOSS maintainer myself, I can confirm that this can bring as much fulfillment and joy as a successful startup. So I hope this model will work for you.

One of the first things I'd recommend is to add a Docker image and do regular releases to make it simple for people to start developing and deploying the project. This would also allow us to add your app to PikaPods.com, which is a simple way of running FOSS projects for non-technical users. We regularly work with new projects to help them set up their Docker workflow.

So if this (adding Docker, being on PikaPods or both) is interesting for you, I'd start working on a Dockerfile and GH Action to keep it updated.

Cheers,

Manu

FROM node:lts
RUN git clone https://github.com/actualbudget/actual-server.git /app
WORKDIR /app
RUN yarn
CMD ["yarn", "start"]

?

Yes, looks like a good start. Just without the git clone, since usually you keep the Dockerfile in the same repo. Let me try that later.

Yeah, the Dockerfile is already there and people are already making improvements and added a GH Action to publish it. So we should see an official image shortly.

Just added Actual to PikaPods for one-click setup. Both EU and US regions are available. All files are accessible over SFTP, if you need to migrate or access them. The free welcome credit is enough to run Actual for around 3.5 months.
