Tailfin
A self-hosted digital flight logbook
Table of Contents
About
Tailfin is a digital flight logbook designed to be hosted on a personal server, computer, or cloud solution. This is the web frontend.
I created this because I was disappointed with the options available for digital logbooks. The one provided by ForeFlight is likely most commonly used, but my proclivity towards self-hosting drove me to seek out another solution. Since I could not find any ready-made self-hosted logbooks, I decided to make my own.

The URL for the Tailfin API can be set with the environment variable TAILFIN_API_URL. It defaults to http://localhost:8081, which assumes the API runs on the same machine and uses the default port.
