Moneybud

Description

Moneybud is a personal budget tracker—a web app for monitoring income, expenses, and budgets over time. It’s built to be simple and opinionated: no feature bloat, just a clean view of where the money goes.

Why

Every budgeting app I tried was either too complex, too opinionated about categories, or required handing over financial data to a third party. Building my own meant I could design exactly the workflow I wanted, keep the data entirely in my own infrastructure, and wire it up to other services in the homelab down the line.

It also gave me a good excuse to experiment with Keycloak’s OIDC flow in a frontend app—VITE_KEYCLOAK_URL is baked at build time, and auth is handled before any data is ever loaded.

Under the Hood

• Backend: connects to Mobile DB for data persistence and sync
• Auth: Keycloak OIDC — Keycloak URL baked in at build time via VITE_KEYCLOAK_URL
• Image: private, hosted on GitHub Container Registry
• Port: 3001
