Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET 10 SDK

Run Locally

cd BudgetApp
dotnet run

The app will be available at https://localhost:5001 (or the port shown in the console). A budgetapp.db SQLite file is created automatically on first run.

Run with Docker

# Build
docker build -t budgeteer .

# Run (persists database in a named volume)
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v budgeteer-data:/app/data --name budgeteer budgeteer

Note: The SQLite database is stored at /app/data/budgetapp.db inside the container. Always mount a volume to /app/data so your data survives image updates and container replacements.

The app will be available at http://localhost:8080.
