1. Create a new directory:

mkdir sparkybudget
cd sparkybudget

2. Download Docker Compose and .env-example.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodeWithCJ/SparkyBudget/refs/heads/main/docker-compose.yaml  
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodeWithCJ/SparkyBudget/refs/heads/main/.env-example  

3. Rename and update DB & the environment file:

mv .env-example .env
nano .env

4. Pull and start the Docker containers:

docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

📍 Open your browser and go to:
👉 http://localhost:5050

📌 Pass below env variable to "Yes" to auto generate demo accounts & transactions. Backup your DB file if you are existing user.
This will generate dummy accounts & transactions in the DB file.

SPARKY_DEMO=Yes  

If you need to reset your SimpleFin Token, delete the access_url.txt.
Follow these steps:

docker exec -it sparkybudget sh  
rm /SparkyBudget/access_url.txt  
docker-compose down && docker-compose up  

⚠️ Important:

The token can only be used once. You will need to generate a new token from SimpleFin and update it in .env before retrying.
