Budget your resources

Allow room for the operating system, database and your actual workload.

Must have

Installation requirements

  • Docker with a compatible official image.
  • Persistent writable storage mounted at /data.

Planning guidance

No further general recommendations are published for this version.

Capacity depends on your workload

The Docker guide does not define a CPU, RAM or disk minimum. No number of users or budgets is inferred from a server memory figure.

We only compare what providers publish. A RAM figure alone can't confirm compatibility or production capacity.

Deploy with

Supported paths

  • Docker Compose
  • Docker container

The host must provide

Runtime

Actual server image
Stable release from Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry

Storage

Persistent data

The /data mount stores server-files and user-files. Preserve this directory when replacing containers and back up budget data.

Step by step

Plan a Actual Budget deployment

  1. Choose a stable image

    Use the official release image; nightly builds may contain more bugs.

    Official instructions
  2. Preserve the data mount

    Configure persistent storage and confirm connectivity before updating or replacing the container.

    Official instructions

Security

Before you go public

  • Restrict access to financial records.
  • Keep recoverable budget backups before upgrades.

Cost

Beyond the server price

  • Include persistent storage and backup costs.
