Hey all, after much use of a guide I was able to get firefly III
installed and am able to access it on my Synology NAS running dsm7.

Now I'm wondering a few things...
Is it worth it for me (a U.S. citizen) to install the importer as I
just have US banks.
 If so is there a guide?  Cause I am struggling.  I've tried doing
portainer, container manager and followed the instructions on firefly
III documentation website and yeah nothing is working, I'm not even
getting it installed.

If I don't need it is there any way I can have my bank account push
transactions to firefly.

I'm a complete noob to this so I have no doubt it's all my fault.

Thanks, yeah mainly looking for a guide as I'm sure I'm just doing
something wrong vs a problem with the install.  I'll check those out.

But a guide already exists? https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-
importer/installation/

If you dont tell us what is wrong with it, then how should anyone help
you? *smh*

I'll make a new post with specific issues when I'm back at my
computer.  I was just hoping for a step by step guide that doesn't
include terminal as apparently Synology dsm 7+ doesn't have terminal.

Uhm... sorry but if youre trying to do selfhosting stuff with avoiding
terminals youre going to have a tough time. Thats just how most things
are done. And yes, Synology definitely can open a terminal to do
things.

Dont bother with a new post, it wouldnt make a difference imo.

Maybe you should ask in /r/Synology and subs like /r/LinuxQuestions
/r/Linux4Noobs instead?

Ok, I'll look into those subs and figure out how to access terminal
