AirTrail is a web application that allows users to track their flights and view their flight history. With AirTrail you can view your flights on an interactive map and keep track of all your flights all in one place. Get insights into your flight history with statistics and import flights from various sources. You can easily import data from MyFlightRadar24. You can use the AirTrail app on any device with a responsive design and switch between light and dark mode. AirTrail allows multiple users and secures your data with user authentication. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install AirTrail on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
