Savings Manager is an intuitive app designed to help you efficiently manage your savings. With virtual moneyboxes, you can allocate budgets for various financial goals, automate your savings strategy, and easily transfer funds between moneyboxes.

Set a fixed monthly savings amount to determine how much can be saved across all moneyboxes each month. The app automatically distributes this amount based on your preset priorities, ensuring that more important goals are reached faster. Additionally, if you withdraw from a moneybox, the system intelligently adjusts to prioritize refilling it, keeping your savings plan on track.

Savings Manager simplifies the process, allowing you to watch as your moneyboxes gradually fill up. You can also transfer funds between moneyboxes or make manual deposits at any time, giving you full control over your financial journey.

NOTE: You need do add .env files with all environments in /envs dir (see section Env).

1. Navigate to the Docker directory: cd docker

2. Run: docker compose up -d to start the PostgreSQL database and the Savings Manager app.
   The app will be accessible at: localhost:8000

   • SwaggerUI: localhost:64000/docs
   • Sphinx: localhost:64000/sphinx

To get the latest version of the repository, simply pull it and rebuild the Docker container:
docker compose up --build

Poetry is used as the deployment and dependency manager.

1. Install Python 3.12 on your OS and add Python 3.12 to PATH.
2. Install pipx: sudo apt update && sudo apt install pipx
3. Install Poetry: python3.12 -m pipx install poetry
4. Install project dependencies:

   cd PROJECT_ROOT
   poetry install
   
   
   

A PostgreSQL database is required. To connect to the database, add a .env file in /src/envs with the following information:

The Savings Manager will load all required data from environment files.

Required environment files:

• .env.general (already exists)
• .env.test (already exists)
• .env.dev (must be added manually)

In the /envs directory, you will find the .env.test and .env.general files, which already contain all necessary data (no modifications needed).

Additionally, you need to create and add your own .env.dev file in the same directory, following the same structure as the .env.test file.

DB_DRIVER=postgresql+asyncpg
DB_NAME=savings_manager

DB_HOST=     [YOUR_HOSTADDRESS]
DB_PORT=     [YOUR_POSTGRES_DB_PORT]
DB_USER=     [YOUR_POSTGRES_DB_USER]
DB_PASSWORD= [YOUR_POSTGRES_DB_PASSWORD]


# smtp - the outgoing SMTP email server data
# -> SMTP_METHOD: only STARTTLS and TLS supported
SMTP_SERVER=
SMTP_PORT=
SMTP_METHOD=
SMTP_USER_NAME=
SMTP_PASSWORD=

Example:

ENVIRONMENT=prod

DB_DRIVER=postgresql+asyncpg
DB_NAME=savings_manager
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=5432
DB_USER=postgres
DB_PASSWORD=postgres

# smtp - the outgoing SMTP email server data
# -> SMTP_METHOD: only STARTTLS and TLS supported
SMTP_SERVER=
SMTP_PORT=
SMTP_METHOD=
SMTP_USER_NAME=
SMTP_PASSWORD=

The SMTP settings will be explained later.

We will use SQLAlchemy to manage and access the SQL database.

To create and migrate the database tables, use Alembic with the following command: From the project root directory: poetry run alembic upgrade head

Note: The database must be reachable.

GitHub Workflows is uses as CI/CD pipeline.

Github Action Items:

• poetry build --> TODO
• pytest check --> TODO
• codestyle check --> TODO

Based on docstrings, sphinx will generate function documentation.

In dir: ../sphinx use command: sphinx-apidoc -f -o source/ ../../src

In dir: ../sphinx use command: sphinx-build source build

For detailed description, see: Generating documentation from docstring using Sphinx

An update sphinx documentation bash script is located in dir script/. It will automatically update the sphinx documentation.

In our case, alembic already exists and don't need to be initialized. Just for documentation: alembic init -t async alembic in project root dir will initialize an alembic environment.

Upgrade to a revision:

head (latest revision): alembic upgrade head

specific revision: alembic upgrade revision_id

Downgrade to a revision:

specific revision: alembic downgrade revision_id

specific revision (relative): alembic downgrade head-1

Create new migration:

dev:
alembic -x ENVIRONEMNT=dev revision --autogenerate -m "Added account table"

prod:
alembic -x ENVIRONEMNT=prod revision --autogenerate -m "Added account table"

To create and migrate the database tables, you need to use alembic by using the command: In project root dir poetry run alembic upgrade head

Hint: The database must be reachable. Savings Manager v2 is able to email you after automated savings is done.

If you want to receiver an email you have to use your email outgoing SMTP server, so the app will be able to send you an email. You can obtain the outgoing SMTP email server data from your provider.

To use the email sender of the app, you need to add the smtp data in /envs/.env, like:

# -> SMTP_METHOD: only STARTTLS and TLS supported
SMTP_SERVER=smtp.web.com
SMTP_PORT=465
SMTP_METHOD=STARTTLS
SMTP_USER_NAME=your.email@address.com
SMTP_PASSWORD=your-email-password

Note: make sure that only you have access to your .env file !!!

If poetry environment is initialized and all dependencies are initially installed via:

• for production (usage only): poetry install --without dev
• for development: poetry install

you should be able to start the app from root directory of the project by using the following command: poetry run python -m src.main

This will start a service on: http://localhost:64000

To see the API documentation or use the API via SwaggerUI, visit: http://localhost:64000/docs

ou can start the Savings Manager as a Docker container. After cloning the main repository and adding/adapting your .env file in savings_manager/envs/, you will be able to start the Docker service using the following command:

Navigate to savings_manager/docker and run: docker compose up --build -d This will rebuild your container if necessary and start the container as a daemon (in the background).

Alternatively you can use the START_SAVINGS_MANAGER.sh script to start the savings manager into as a Docker container: Navigate to savings_manager/scripts and run: ./START_SAVINGS_MANAGER.sh

(in windows, run the .bat file)

The savings manager into the docker will run on port 8001 and you will reach the service at: http://localhost:8001
