Overview Firefly III is an open source self-hosted personal finance manager. It uses double-entry bookkeeping to give you a precise, honest picture of your money: where it comes from, where it goes, and what is left. You record expenses and income, organise them into budgets, categories and tags, set savings goals with piggy banks, and watch automatic rules tidy everything up. All of your financial data stays private on infrastructure you control. This image delivers Firefly III fully installed and configured, so a complete personal finance service is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Firefly III 6.6.3.
Application Stack Firefly III is a Laravel application. PHP 8.5 with OPcache and every extension Firefly III requires. nginx web server serving the Laravel public document root. SQLite storage, so the appliance is fully self-contained with no separate database server to manage. The application code, configuration, SQLite database, uploads and storage are kept on a dedicated, independently resizable data volume. The database schema is migrated and seeded at build time so the application is ready the moment it boots.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh application encryption key and cron token, unique to that instance, sets a fresh administrator password, and writes the credentials to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The Firefly III code tree, document root, web server and database are all configured. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the generated administrator, and start recording accounts, transactions, budgets and bills. Or register your own first user, which becomes the owner of the installation.
