How to Install IHateMoney on Clear Linux Latest

IHateMoney is a free and open-source web-based expense management application that helps you keep track of your personal or small business expenses. It allows you to keep an overview of your income and expenses, categorize your transactions, generate reports, and more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install IHateMoney on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation, you need to have the following prerequisites:

• A running Clear Linux Latest system with sudo access.
• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system.

If you have not installed Docker and Docker Compose on your Clear Linux system, you can install them by following the steps given in this tutorial.

Step 1: Clone the IHateMoney Repository

The first step is to clone IHateMoney's source code from GitHub. Open the terminal and run the following command to clone the repository:

sudo git clone https://github.com/spiral-project/ihatemoney.git /opt/ihatemoney

The above command will clone the IHateMoney repository into the "/opt/ihatemoney" directory.

Step 2: Create a Docker Compose Configuration File

The next step is to create a Docker Compose configuration file for IHateMoney. Run the following command to create a new file:

sudo nano /opt/ihatemoney/docker-compose.yml

Copy and paste the following content into the file:

version: '2'
services:
  ihatemoney:
    image: ihatemoney/ihatemoney:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    environment:
      - IATEMONEY_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key
      - IATEMONEY_DEBUG=False
      - IATEMONEY_DB_URL=postgres://ihm:password@db:5432/ihm
    depends_on:
      - db

  db:
    image: postgres:11
    restart: always
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
      - POSTGRES_USER=ihm
      - POSTGRES_DB=ihm
    volumes:
      - ihm_db:/var/lib/postgresql/data

volumes:
  ihm_db:

Note: Replace "your_secret_key" with your own secret key.

This configuration file defines 2 services, "ihatemoney" and "db". The "ihatemoney" service uses the latest IHateMoney Docker image, maps the container port 8000 to the host port 8000, and defines some environment variables. The "db" service uses the Postgres 11 Docker image and also defines some environment variables. The two services are connected using a Docker Compose network.

Save and close the file.

Step 3: Start IHateMoney

Now that we have prepared the Docker Compose configuration file, we can start the IHateMoney application by running the following command:

sudo docker-compose -f /opt/ihatemoney/docker-compose.yml up -d

This command will start the IHateMoney and Postgres containers in detached mode. You can view the container logs using the following command:

sudo docker-compose -f /opt/ihatemoney/docker-compose.yml logs -f ihatemoney

The logs will show the IHateMoney startup progress, and you can access the application by pointing your web browser to http://localhost:8000.
