Hi there selfhosters.

I was looking for a self hosted open source subscription tracker for a while and since I could not find what I wanted, I decided to try to build it myself.
I used mobile apps like Billbot but the data would only be accessible on that device. I've also found a few web based services but would require a subscription, and the reason I wanted a subscription tracker was to get an overview of my subscriptions and start saving money by cancelling unneeded or redundant services.
Since I am using so many open source and self hosted projects I decided to try to give something back and this is how Wallos was born.

I'm not happy with the UI yet, it was my first time developing a project without a designer, but I don't hate it either.

About Wallos:

Feel free to open issues with bug reports or feature requests. Bug fixes will take priority.

The development cycle might not be the fastest, since I work a full time job and have a baby, but I'll do the best I can.

Thank you and hoping the tool can be useful to someone else.

I use it on unraid server and it's great.
It will be better if user can select what to show in main view. For example I have few entries from the same provider and don't see description.

Very cool. I just have one problem. Whenever I change and save settings or click on the logo, I am directed to the base url (example.com) and not to the directory where Wallos is hosted (example.com/wallos). I am hosting with Apache (bare metal route) Am I missing something?

Does anyone know how to reset a user password? It seems I'm locked out at Wallos due a wrong password in my password manager.

[–] lordcracker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Create a file resetpw.php in endpoints/cronjobs/

Paste the following code:

prepare($sql);

$hashedPassword = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

$stmt->bindParam(':password', $hashedPassword, SQLITE3_TEXT);

$result = $stmt->execute();

if ($result) {

echo "Password updated successfully.";

} else {

echo "Error updating password.";

}

Change mynewpassword to your desired password. If your environment is different, please set $webPath manually.

Then run on your browser: domain:port/endpoints/cronjobs/resetpw.php

Finally, delete the resetpw.php file so it can't be unintentionally triggered again.I haven't tested the code, but it should work.

mynewpassword

Thanks a lot!
Also noticed that the username is case sensitive :-)

An idea for you, what about debt viewing? For example, putting credit card debt, loans, all that stuff!

Might be a cool addition within the future! Anyway, FANTASTIC JOB!! It seriously looks amazing!

[–] lordcracker@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you. Not exactly sure what you mean, but in the settings you can add categories and maybe with that you can have more or less what you want?

[–] ChocoDarkMatter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thats amazing that you even added categories. I just want to say thank you! this is exactly what I've been looking for. Keep up the great work, I havent even tried it yet but just from the comments and the screenshots I can tell this is perfect for me.

Just about every financial management tool gives you that net worth "debt viewing" stuff already. Its hard to find something like this gem. Keep up the direction your going!

Does this work on arm64, as in a raspberry pi?

[–] lordcracker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It now works on ARM and ARM64. Regards.

Looks cool, will definitely be checking this out later when I finish work.

Thanks!
