Jetlog

A self-hostable personal flight tracker and viewer for logging, visualizing and managing personal flight entries. Jetlog provides a map-based UI, per-flight statistics, and import/export tools for maintaining a personal flight history.

Key Features

• World map view with plotted flight routes and visited airports
• Flight statistics and aggregated metrics across your logbook
• Responsive React-based UI with TypeScript and TailwindCSS styling
• Add, edit, and delete past flights with per-user authentication and multi-user support
• Import from custom CSV and some third-party sources; export to CSV and iCal
• Docker-ready image for simple deployment and a single-file SQLite backend
• Configurable environment variables and a default admin account on first run

Use Cases

• Personal pilots or frequent flyers maintaining a private digital logbook
• Aviation spotters keeping a searchable record of sightings with photos and notes
• Small flying clubs or groups needing a lightweight, self-hosted flight history and stats viewer

Limitations and Considerations

• Relies on selected external APIs for some automatic flight fetching; these can be disabled if desired
• Uses SQLite as the default database, which is convenient for single-instance use but may limit scale for large multi-user deployments
• Import sources are limited (custom CSV and supported third-party formats); may require manual formatting for other sources
• Default admin credentials are created on first start; changing the password immediately is recommended

Jetlog is a lightweight, open-source solution for individuals and small groups who want a private, self-hosted way to log and visualize flights. It focuses on simplicity and local control, and is intended for single-instance deployments rather than high-scale, multi-tenant hosting.
