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 -dwith 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.


Not trying to criticise, just sharing own opinion - it is better if ugly, but written by human, than polished by llms You write code, yes sometimes it is ugly, messy, but you learn this way
“I only run artisanal applications built using vi without any plugins”
yes thats a possible way too.
Anyway, the idea is interesting. I’m using flight radar currently to track my flights.
