Web-logbook

This is a simple, free and opensource EASA-style logbook application written in golang and react.

You can clone the repo and compile the binaries yourself, or just download the latest ones for your operating system from the releases.

Once you start the app it automatically creates an SQLite local DB and starts listening on port 4000 by default. So you can open it in your standard web browser at http://localhost:4000

You also can easily export all flight records into EASA style pdf format, print it, sign and use it as a usual paper logbook.

Changelog

  • Caution: This is an early release and still in test, please create a backup of your db file (weblogbook.sql) before switching to this version
  • Update: Completely new user interface
  • Update (breaking change): The category list has a new format and should be recreated
  • Note: The Docker image for this release is tagged with its version only and doesn't use the standard latest tag until it exits alpha status

Settings

Airports Databases

The app supports 3 sources:

If you enable the No ICAO codes filter option, the app will ignore ICAO airport codes that contain numbers and dashes, which are not commonly used ICAO codes. By default, this option is unchecked, which makes the database slightly smaller and cleaner.

Advanced configuration

Docker

Check readme for dockerized app for more details.

HTTPS enable

You can generate your own certificate and key and store it in the different directories in your operating system. For that use --key and --cert parameters to specify the exact location and wun app with --enable-https flag.

MySQL database

To store all data, you can use MySQL database. To get started, create a database and a user with access to it. On the first run, the application will create all necessary tables and views. If you want to migrate your data from SQLite to MySQL, you can use the export to CSV function first and then import from CSV.

The DSN format for MySQL connections

user:password@protocol(address)/dbname?param=value

For example,

./web-logbook -engine mysql -dsn "web-logbook-user:pwd@tcp(192.168.0.222)/web-logbook"

New features/Issues

In case you'd like to add some other features to the logbook or you found a bug, please open an "issue" here https://github.com/vsimakhin/web-logbook/issues with a description. I cannot promise I'll implement it or fix it at a reasonable time but at least I can take a look.
