Overview

AdventureLog is an open-source travel journal and trip-planning application that lets users document adventures, map the places they've visited, and organize multi-day itineraries. It is released under the GPL 3.0 license and developed openly on GitHub.

Unlike hosted travel-logging services, AdventureLog is distributed exclusively as self-hosted software. Users run it themselves via Docker, a curl-based installer, or on platforms like Synology NAS and Proxmox, giving them full control over their own travel data.

Key Features

Core features include an interactive world map for tracking visited and planned locations, adventure entries with photos and ratings, multi-day trip itineraries with flight details and checklists, a travel statistics dashboard, collaborative trip planning, and a countries/regions explorer.

Who It's For

AdventureLog suits travelers, families documenting vacations, and digital nomads who want a self-hosted, privacy-respecting alternative to commercial travel-logging apps. Because it requires running your own server, it is best suited to users with some familiarity with Docker-based self-hosting.
