Ready to make your Unraid server even more powerful? In today’s video, I’m showing you how to install AdventureLog, a stunning self-hosted travel and adventure tracker that turns your memories, trips, hikes, and photos into a beautiful interactive map — all hosted privately on your own server.

No cloud services.
No tracking.
No subscriptions.
Just your data, on your hardware.

We’ll walk through installing AdventureLog on Unraid using PostGIS, setting up the backend and frontend, avoiding common errors, configuring URLs, and making everything run smoothly on a custom Docker network.

Whether you’re a traveler, a hiker, an Immich user, or just someone who loves organizing their life visually, AdventureLog is an incredible addition to your self-hosted setup.
