When it comes to travel planning, convenience often comes at the cost of privacy. But what if you could map your adventures, mark every destination, and visualize your trips—without giving away a single byte of data to anyone else?
That’s where TRIP comes in.
In this SYNACK Time video, we explore TRIP, a minimalist, self-hosted map tracker and trip planner designed for privacy-minded explorers. It’s open source, runs easily in Docker, and gives you full control over your travel data from start to finish.
About TRIP
TRIP is a personal travel planner that lets you:
- Create and organize points of interest (POIs)
- Plan multiple routes and journeys
- Visualize your adventures on a clean, interactive map
- Keep all travel details stored privately on your own server
There’s no tracking, no telemetry, and no third-party analytics. Everything stays with you—right where it belongs.
What You’ll Learn in the Video
This SYNACK Time walkthrough covers every step needed to get TRIP running in your homelab or self-hosting setup.
- Exploring TRIP’s simple, privacy-first interface
- Installing TRIP using Docker & Portainer
- Making it internet-accessible through Nginx Proxy Manager
- Configuring authentication for secure, private access
Whether you’re organizing a weekend getaway or documenting years of adventures, this guide will show you how to set up your own private travel planner from scratch.
Why TRIP Matters
Self-hosting isn’t just about control—it’s about ownership.
Tools like TRIP highlight how personal data can remain personal while still being beautifully organized and accessible. It’s a great addition to any homelab or privacy-focused workflow, and it’s a reminder that convenience and security can coexist when you take hosting into your own hands.
