I never found a self-hosted budgeting solution I liked until I found actual budget. I wish it had more reports, but it seems like they've got a pretty active development community since it recently went fully open-sourced.

I've tried them both and I find Actual Budget a bit better. It also has an importer (directly from banks) which Firefly III has, but as a separate app and it's not so smooth to use.

Actual lets your budgets go negative, which is why I chose it when I was testing apps.

Edit: This is in contrast to Firefly III, which does not and explicitly said they won't.
