Firefly III Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

It needs a recent PHP release, listed as 8.5 or higher in the main-branch composer.json, several PHP extensions and a database such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL or SQLite. A daily cron job powers recurring transactions and exchange rates.
It can if your cPanel account can select the required PHP version with the listed extensions and schedule a cron job. The official docs recommend PostgreSQL for performance, but MySQL and MariaDB are supported.
Open Softaculous in cPanel, choose Firefly III and complete the setup form. The one-click installer prepares the files and database in a few clicks, so no manual upload is required. Add the daily cron job afterwards.
Official docs say automated budgets, recurring transactions, subscription warnings and up-to-date currency exchange rates only work while the cron job runs. It is typically scheduled once a day, and you can create it from the cPanel cron jobs tool.
Yes. Firefly III is open-source software released under the AGPL-3.0-or-later license, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.
