Firefly III on Unraid: The Best Way I’ve Found to Track Expenses
In this video, I walk through how to install and configure Firefly III on Unraid using Community Apps.
With tax season coming up, I wanted a self-hosted way to track income and expenses without relying on cloud-based services — and Firefly III turned out to be one of the best solutions I’ve found.
This video covers:
• Installing Firefly III on Unraid
• Setting up MariaDB and connecting the database
• First-time login and initial configuration
• A quick overview of the Firefly III interface
This is Part 1 of a short series.
👉 In Part 2, we’ll take this a step further by setting up the Firefly III Data Importer, allowing you to import real transaction data from CSV files and bank exports — perfect if you’re catching up before tax time.
If you’re running Unraid and looking for a powerful, self-hosted finance tracker, this is a great place to start.
