Very simple budgeting software I wrote to keep track of my budgets

Sekhnet Budget is a Django based REST API that I deploy on my local network at home using Kubernetes.

Each budget is issued a percentage that represents what portion of income should go to it. for example, if housing is 30% and you add 1000$ of income, 300$ will got to housing and the 700$ will be divided among the other budgets

I have been using version 1 for the last 10 months (as of this commit), running it on my local kubernetes cluster. It has been working great for me.

I intend on using and updating this for the rest of my life But note I will likely go significant periods of time without updating it.

Really basic API functionality has been added. Documentation can be found in the Postman Collection located at docs/Budget.postman_collection.json

All the requests are prefixed with /api/v2

Setup environment with your database settings

docker-compose up

If you run into database issues, try this

python3 manage.py makemigrations
python3 manage.py migrate

If you have a Kubernetes cluster use the helm chart located in ./helm

Or use docker compose if you prefer
