Refactor Actualbudget script to use new NPM packageΒ #4223
Description
π Task summary
Refactor the previously removed Actual Budget install/update script to use newly available NPM package provided by project
π Task details
The install and update script for Actual Budget was removed a few weeks ago because of difficulty maintaining code from the project's source.
The Actual Budget project has now released & promised ongoing support for an NPM package edition:
https://actualbudget.org/docs/install/cli-tool/
The Actual sync-server is available as an NPM package. The package is designed to make running the sync-server as easy as possible and is published to the official NPM registry under https://www.npmjs.com/package/@actual-app/sync-server
From the project:
The maintainers have been discussing ways to make the process simpler for folks who just want to run actual server without docker or going through the hassle of building from source. We've developed a CLI tool that does that, which we'll support going forward.
[...] it will be as easy as installing one npm package and running it - it should be roughly around 75MB in total.
Per @MickLesk's directions here, please consider re-adding this useful open source project back to the script repository, now that maintaining it should be easier!
