## Get started in 30 seconds

```bash
ENCRYPTION_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32) docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  -e ENCRYPTION_KEY=$ENCRYPTION_KEY \
  -v ./data:/app/data -v ./uploads:/app/uploads mauriceboe/trek
```

Open `http://localhost:3000`. On first boot TREK seeds an admin account — if you set `ADMIN_EMAIL`/`ADMIN_PASSWORD` those are used, otherwise the credentials are printed to the container log (`docker logs trek`).

<h2 id="docker-compose-production">Docker Compose (production)</h2>

<details>
<summary>Full compose example with secure defaults</summary>

```yaml
services:
  app:
    image: mauriceboe/trek:latest
    container_name: trek
    read_only: true
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    cap_drop:
      - ALL
    cap_add:
      - CHOWN
      - SETUID
      - SETGID
    tmpfs:
      - /tmp:noexec,nosuid,size=64m
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=production
      - PORT=3000
      - ENCRYPTION_KEY=${ENCRYPTION_KEY:-}   # generate with: openssl rand -hex 32
      - TZ=${TZ:-UTC}
      - LOG_LEVEL=${LOG_LEVEL:-info}
      - ALLOWED_ORIGINS=${ALLOWED_ORIGINS:-}
      - APP_URL=${APP_URL:-}                 # required for OIDC + email links
      # - FORCE_HTTPS=true                   # behind a TLS-terminating proxy
      # - TRUST_PROXY=1
      # - OIDC_ISSUER=https://auth.example.com
      # - OIDC_CLIENT_ID=trek
      # - OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=supersecret
      # - OIDC_DISPLAY_NAME=SSO
      # - OIDC_ADMIN_CLAIM=groups
      # - OIDC_ADMIN_VALUE=app-trek-admins
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data
      - ./uploads:/app/uploads
    restart: unless-stopped
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "wget", "-qO-", "http://localhost:3000/api/health"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 15s
```

Then:

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

**HTTPS notes:** `FORCE_HTTPS=true` is optional — it adds a 301 redirect, HSTS, CSP upgrade-insecure-requests, and forces the `secure` cookie flag. Only use it behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy. `TRUST_PROXY=1` tells Express how many proxies sit in front so real client IPs and `X-Forwarded-Proto` work.

</details>

<br />

<h2 id="helm-kubernetes">Helm (Kubernetes)</h2>

```bash
helm repo add trek https://mauriceboe.github.io/TREK
helm repo update
helm install trek trek/trek
```

See [`charts/README.md`](https://github.com/mauriceboe/TREK/blob/main/charts/README.md) for values.

<h2 id="install-as-app-pwa">Install as App (PWA)</h2>

TREK works as a Progressive Web App — no App Store needed.

1. Open TREK in the browser (HTTPS required)
2. **iOS**: Share ▸ *Add to Home Screen*
3. **Android**: Menu ▸ *Install app* (or *Add to Home Screen*)

TREK then launches fullscreen with its own icon, just like a native app.

<br />

## Updating

**Docker Compose:**

```bash
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
```

**Docker run** — reuse the original volume paths:

```bash
docker pull mauriceboe/trek
docker rm -f trek
docker run -d --name trek -p 3000:3000 -v ./data:/app/data -v ./uploads:/app/uploads --restart unless-stopped mauriceboe/trek
```

> Not sure which paths you used? `docker inspect trek --format '{{json .Mounts}}'` before removing the container.

Your data stays in the mounted `data` and `uploads` volumes — updates never touch it.

<h3>Rotating the Encryption Key</h3>

If you need to rotate `ENCRYPTION_KEY` (e.g. upgrading from a version that derived encryption from `JWT_SECRET`):

```bash
docker exec -it trek node --import tsx scripts/migrate-encryption.ts
```

The script creates a timestamped DB backup before making changes and prompts for old + new keys (input is not echoed).

<h2 id="reverse-proxy">Reverse Proxy</h2>

For production, put TREK behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy. TREK uses WebSockets for real-time sync, so the proxy **must** support WebSocket upgrades on `/ws`.

}
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Caddy</summary>

```caddy
trek.yourdomain.com {
    reverse_proxy localhost:3000

Caddy handles TLS and WebSockets automatically.

## Environment variables

<details>
<summary><b>Full reference</b></summary>

<br />

| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| **Core** | | |
| `PORT` | Server port | `3000` |
| `NODE_ENV` | Environment (`production` / `development`) | `production` |
| `ENCRYPTION_KEY` | At-rest encryption key for stored secrets (API keys, MFA, SMTP, OIDC). Recommended: generate with `openssl rand -hex 32`. If unset, falls back to `data/.jwt_secret` (existing installs) or auto-generates a key (fresh installs). | Auto |
| `TZ` | Timezone for logs, reminders and cron jobs (e.g. `Europe/Berlin`) | `UTC` |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | `info` = concise user actions, `debug` = verbose details | `info` |
| `DEFAULT_LANGUAGE` | Default language on the login page for users with no saved preference. Browser/OS language is auto-detected first; this is the fallback. Supported: `de`, `en`, `es`, `fr`, `hu`, `nl`, `br`, `cs`, `pl`, `ru`, `zh`, `zh-TW`, `it`, `ar` | `en` |
| `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | Comma-separated origins for CORS and email links | same-origin |
| `FORCE_HTTPS` | Optional. When `true`: 301-redirects HTTP to HTTPS, sends HSTS, adds CSP `upgrade-insecure-requests`, forces the session cookie `secure` flag. Useful behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy. Requires `TRUST_PROXY`. | `false` |
| `HSTS_INCLUDE_SUBDOMAINS` | When `true`: adds the `includeSubDomains` directive to the HSTS header, extending HTTPS enforcement to all subdomains. Only effective when HSTS is active (`FORCE_HTTPS=true` or `NODE_ENV=production`). Leave `false` if you run other services on sibling subdomains over plain HTTP. | `false` |
| `COOKIE_SECURE` | Controls the `secure` flag on the `trek_session` cookie. Auto-derived: on when `NODE_ENV=production` or `FORCE_HTTPS=true`. Escape hatch: set `false` to allow session cookies over plain HTTP. Not recommended in production. | auto |
| `TRUST_PROXY` | Number of trusted reverse proxies. Tells Express to read client IP from `X-Forwarded-For` and protocol from `X-Forwarded-Proto`. Defaults to `1` in production; off in dev unless set. | `1` |
| `ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK` | Allow outbound requests to private/RFC-1918 IPs (e.g. Immich on your LAN). Loopback and link-local addresses remain blocked. | `false` |
| `APP_URL` | Public base URL of this instance (e.g. `https://trek.example.com`). Required when OIDC is enabled; used as base for email notification links. | — |
| **OIDC / SSO** | | |
| `OIDC_ISSUER` | OpenID Connect provider URL | — |
| `OIDC_CLIENT_ID` | OIDC client ID | — |
| `OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET` | OIDC client secret | — |
| `OIDC_DISPLAY_NAME` | Label shown on the SSO login button | `SSO` |
| `OIDC_ONLY` | Force SSO-only mode: disables password login + registration, regardless of Admin > Settings. The first SSO login becomes admin. | `false` |
| `OIDC_ADMIN_CLAIM` | OIDC claim used to identify admin users | — |
| `OIDC_ADMIN_VALUE` | Value of the OIDC claim that grants admin role | — |
| `OIDC_SCOPE` | Space-separated OIDC scopes. **Fully replaces** the default — always include `openid email profile`. | `openid email profile` |
| `OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL` | Override the auto-constructed OIDC discovery endpoint (e.g. Authentik: `.../application/o/trek/.well-known/openid-configuration`) | — |
| **Initial setup** | | |
| `ADMIN_EMAIL` | Email for the first admin on initial boot. Must be set together with `ADMIN_PASSWORD`. If either is omitted a random password is printed to the server log. No effect once a user exists. | `admin@trek.local` |
| `ADMIN_PASSWORD` | Password for the first admin on initial boot. Pairs with `ADMIN_EMAIL`. | random |
| **Other** | | |
| `DEMO_MODE` | Enable demo mode (hourly data resets) | `false` |
| `MCP_RATE_LIMIT` | Max MCP API requests per user per minute | `300` |
| `MCP_MAX_SESSION_PER_USER` | Max concurrent MCP sessions per user | `20` |
