Budgetzero is a free and open-source web-based personal finance software that helps users to manage their money. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Budgetzero on Fedora CoreOS.
Before starting, ensure you have the following in place:
Budgetzero is based on Docker, so the first step is to install Docker on your machine. Run the following command:
sudo dnf install docker
After the installation, enable and start the Docker service using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
Next, you need to clone the Budgetzero repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/budgetzero/budgetzero.git
For Budgetzero to work properly, you need to create a database configuration file. Run the following command to create a "db.env" configuration file:
cd budgetzero/
nano db.env
In the file, add the following lines:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<your-strong-root-password>
MYSQL_DATABASE=budgetzero
MYSQL_USER=budgetzero
MYSQL_PASSWORD=<your-strong-db-password>
Replace <your-strong-root-password> and <your-strong-db-password> with strong passwords of your choice.
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, and finally ENTER.
Budgetzero uses Docker Compose to run its services. First, update the Compose file by running the following command:
nano docker-compose.yml
In the file, change the following line:
version: "3"
to:
version: "3.5"
Save and close the file.
You are now ready to run Budgetzero using Docker Compose. Run the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will start the containers in the background.
You can now access Budgetzero by opening your web browser and typing in the server's IP address followed by port 8080.
