Migrate Actual Budget

So I had installed Actual Budget directly to the hosting virtual machine instead of in Docker because I missed a silly little button. It should be pretty easy to bring it up in a container and then migrate the data over.

Install Actual Budget

Steps performed on DOCKER-01

sudo mkdir /apps/Actual-Budget
cd /apps/Actual-Budget
sudo nano docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  actual_server:
    image: docker.io/actualbudget/actual-server:latest
    ports:
      # This line makes Actual available at port 5006 of the device you run the server on,
      # i.e. http://localhost:5006. You can change the first number to change the port, if you want.
      - '5006:5006'
    environment:
      # Uncomment any of the lines below to set configuration options.
      # - ACTUAL_HTTPS_KEY=/data/selfhost.key
      # - ACTUAL_HTTPS_CERT=/data/selfhost.crt
      - ACTUAL_UPLOAD_FILE_SYNC_SIZE_LIMIT_MB=20
      - ACTUAL_UPLOAD_SYNC_ENCRYPTED_FILE_SYNC_SIZE_LIMIT_MB=50
      - ACTUAL_UPLOAD_FILE_SIZE_LIMIT_MB=20
      # See all options and more details at http://actualbudget.github.io/docs/Installing/Configuration
      # !! If you are not using any of these options, remove the 'environment:' tag entirely.
    volumes:
      # Change './actual-data' below to the path to the folder you want Actual to store its data in on your server.
      # '/data' is the path Actual will look for its files in by default, so leave that as-is.
      - ./actual-data:/data
    restart: unless-stopped

I save the file docker-compose.yml
sudo docker-compose pull
sudo docker-compose up -d

Migrate Actual Budget's Data

I was able to export and then import the Actual Budget data from ACTUAL-01 to DOCKER-01 successfully.

I remove ACTUAL-01 from Windows Terminal's JSON file

Migrate FileRun

I haven't touched FileRun is a long long time. The app isn't even running. It looks like it exited again.

Steps performed on FILERUN-01

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

When I go to restart the FileRun app it is just failing. This was just a test to begin with and held no real data. Since it's so widely out of date maybe I should just nuke it and start fresh.

Well when I go to FileRun's webpage the free version is no longer available to new users. So much for a fresh install. I reboot FILERUN-01 and afterwards FILERUN does come back online. But it looks like I can't update it at all. I guess if I want to look into this sort of project again in the future I'll have to find some other software. But for right now that means I can just decommission FileRun and reclaim these resources.
