TravStats – self-hosted flight tracker with 3D globe, heatmap & email parser

Hey r/selfhosted Lemmy crowd,

I built TravStats because I wanted to log my flights without handing my travel history to MyFlightradar24, App in the Air, or whatever SaaS-of-the-month. Started as a weekend project, has grown into something I actually use daily.

What it does

• Booking email parser — drop your Lufthansa / BA / Berge & Meer / whatever confirmation mail in and it auto-fills the flight via local LLM (Ollama, gemma3:12b works great). No manually typing 200 flights.
• 3D globe of all your routes (deck.gl + MapLibre), plus heatmap, hexagon, arc and time-slider modes — watch your flights build up over the years
• Boarding pass scanner as a fallback (OCR) for the cases where you only have the PDF
• Stats, achievements, certificates for the gamification fans
• Cruise tracking with sea-route rendering (because flights aren't the only travel) (Comming Soon)
• DE / EN UI

Stack

• Single Docker image, Postgres sidecar
• Node + TypeScript backend, React + Vite frontend
• AGPL-3.0
• Optional: Ollama on a separate box for the parser (CPU-only is fine, gemma3:12b on a Mac mini works)

Install

• Unraid: in Community Apps, search "TravStats" → one-click
• Anywhere else: docker compose up -d with the example compose file in the repo
• No external account, no telemetry, JWT in HttpOnly cookies, secrets auto-generated on first boot

Still actively developing — currently on v1.2.1. Happy about feedback, issues, feature requests. If you give it a spin and the parser eats your booking confirmation cleanly, I'd love to hear it; if it doesn't, even more so.
