I self host it since Mint shutdown. It obviously doesnt have automatic integrations with financial institutions so you need to export/import manually or frankenstein your own automation.
There are a lot of things it does that I dont use. I am mostly there for spending visualization. It does that well, but it takes a lot of clicks to setup categorization rules, but once its done things happen automatically.
Its just a few minutes work to get it setup on docker. And i think it has a demo site that you can look around on to see what tools it has.
Its not perfect. But its good enough for me, for now.

Why would that be obvious? Until I read your comment I was assuming it was there. That feels like it should be a core feature for basic personal finance applications.
I have been using for years now. I don't have big requirements for a personal finances software. I mainly use it for cataloging my expenses so I can have a overview to where my money goes. I created a script that pushes my bank account export and have a series of rules to tag it automatically[1] and that is it.
And for what I use it just works. I don't have any complains, docs are good, plenty of tutorial available and it is easy enough to setup and update (I don't use docker for it). I can't ask more of a software tbh.
I've been using Firefly-III for over three years now. What I'm contemplating to write is a quick util which would auto-import transactions from my emails.
