Maurice 44c92052a3 docs(wiki): bring the pages in line with 4.3.0
Every page was read against the code on dev. What changed:

- Pages that described 4.2 behaviour: satellite view on the vector maps,
  the mobile journal timeline, Collab with its fifth tab, the Review badge,
  clustered pins on the share page, the Leaflet preset list, the strict
  guard on fe80::/10, the invite link tools and their scopes, the Public
  API scope rules, the permission count in the plugin SDK.
- Features of this release that no page mentioned: videos in a journal
  entry, receipts on an expense, the Google transit backend, routing
  counters, the rating on a place, the navigation menu, car stops, the
  manual school holiday catalogue and its MCP tools, the Dawarich panel in
  the Atlas, the release notes modal, plugin frames going fullscreen, the
  corridor call into the search provider hook.
- Statements that sent an admin the wrong way: DEFAULT_LANGUAGE is not in
  the Helm ConfigMap, env.PORT cannot be changed on the chart alone, the
  rotation script does not cover the document sync credentials, event
  handlers cannot broadcast, there is no per user MFA reset in the admin
  panel, the demo user can edit, an unparsable APP_URL stops the server.
- Updating gets a section for 4.3.0: the TREK Places API as the new
  default, the new variables, the Overpass timeout, SSO sessions on an
  OIDC only instance, the migration that puts booked nights on the drive.

User Settings

The Settings page lets you personalise every aspect of TREK — appearance, maps, notifications, offline behaviour, and your account.

Navigating to Settings

Open the user menu in the top navigation bar and select Settings. The page opens on the General tab by default.

If your account requires MFA setup, TREK redirects you directly to the Account tab (via ?mfa=required).

Tabs

Tab Purpose Shown when
General Start page and start tab, currency, language, temperature unit, distance unit, time format, booking route labels, always show booking routes, map POI pills, blur booking codes, and optimize route from accommodation Always

General tab

The General tab controls the following preferences, all saved immediately on change. See Display-Settings for the detail.

Startup

  • Start page — open TREK on the dashboard (the default) or straight in your active trip.
  • Start tab — which planner tab that trip opens on, e.g. Costs for entering expenses on the road.

Language & region

  • Currency — your display currency; Trip currency (the default) shows each trip in its own. See Currencies.
  • Language — displayed as a button grid on desktop and a dropdown on mobile.
  • Temperature unit — Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
  • Distance unit — Metric (km) or Imperial (mi).
  • Time format — 24h (14:30) or 12h (2:30 PM).

Travel & map

  • Booking route labels — show or hide station / airport names on booking route endpoint markers.
  • Always show booking routes — draw the route for every flight, train and other booking on the map automatically, instead of switching it on per item.
  • Explore places on the map — show a POI category pill on the trip map for finding nearby places from OpenStreetMap.
  • Blur booking codes — blur confirmation codes and reference numbers (useful when screen-sharing).
  • Optimize route from accommodation — when optimizing a day, start the route at the hotel you wake up in and end it at the one you check into that evening.

Appearance tab

  • Color mode — Light, Dark, or Auto (follows your operating system / browser preference).
  • Color scheme — a preset accent, or Custom with your own light and dark accent colors.
  • Readability (Experimental) — transparency, reduce motion, density, and text size.
  • Dashboard widgets — which widgets appear on the dashboard, independently for desktop and mobile.

See Appearance-Settings for the detail.

Map tab

The Map tab requires an explicit Save action after making changes.

Provider — choose between:

  • Leaflet — The default. Pick from built-in presets (OpenStreetMap, OpenStreetMap DE, OpenFreeMap Positron/Bright, CartoDB Light/Dark, Stadia Smooth, Amap (高德地图) road and satellite) or enter a custom tile URL template. The Amap presets draw in the offset GCJ-02 datum, which TREK corrects for; see Map-Settings. OpenFreeMap Positron is what an unconfigured map draws; the CartoDB presets need an API key.
  • Mapbox GL (Experimental) — Vector tiles with 3D buildings and terrain. Requires a public Mapbox access token (pk.*). Supports built-in style presets (Mapbox Standard, Standard Satellite, Streets, Outdoors, Light, Dark, Satellite, Satellite Streets, Navigation Day, Navigation Night) or a custom mapbox://styles/USER/ID URL. Additional options:
    • 3D Buildings & Terrain — Pitch and real 3D building extrusions (works on every style including satellite).
    • High Quality Mode (Experimental) — Antialiasing + globe projection for sharper edges. May impact performance on lower-end devices.
  • MapLibre GL — Vector tiles from OpenFreeMap, and the reason to pick it over Mapbox GL: it needs no access token. Styles are OpenFreeMap Liberty, Bright, and Positron, or any https://tiles.openfreemap.org/… style URL. The 3D and high-quality toggles are Mapbox-only and are not shown here.

Each GL provider keeps its own saved style, so switching between Mapbox GL and MapLibre GL never overwrites the other one's choice.

Atlas always uses Leaflet regardless of the provider setting.

Opening view — there is no default map center or zoom setting. Every map frames itself on the places it is showing. See Map-Settings.

Account tab summary

Settings page on the Account tab, with the settings tab rail on the left and username, email, change-password fields and the two-factor authentication section on the right

The Account tab lets you:

  • Edit your username and email address.
  • Change your password (hidden when the server runs in OIDC-only mode — see OIDC-SSO).
  • Set up or disable two-factor authentication (TOTP). After enabling MFA, backup codes are shown once and can be copied, downloaded, or printed. See Two-Factor-Authentication.
  • Manage your passkeys — add one (confirm your password, then follow your device prompt), rename it, or remove it. Add a passkey only appears when the instance has passkeys switched on and a WebAuthn domain resolves; an existing passkey stays listed either way so you can always clean it up. See Passkeys.
  • Upload or remove your profile avatar.
  • Delete your account (irreversible; blocked if you are the only admin).

If your account was linked via SSO, an SSO badge appears next to your role and the OIDC issuer domain is shown below it.

Integrations tab

The Integrations tab is only visible when a photo provider (Immich or Synology Photos), MCP, AirTrail, AI Parsing or Dawarich is enabled. Each section then appears with its own addon, so the tab holds only what your instance actually runs:

  • Photo Providers (only when a photo provider is enabled) — Configure Immich, Synology Photos, and other photo integrations. One card appears per enabled provider.
  • AirTrail (only when the AirTrail addon is enabled) — Instance URL and API key for your self-hosted AirTrail, plus a self-signed-certificate switch and a Write changes back to AirTrail toggle (off by default: AirTrail is the source of truth and TREK only reads from it). Test connection reports how many flights it can see. The key is stored encrypted and never prefilled — leaving the field blank keeps the stored one.
  • Dawarich (only when the Dawarich addon is enabled): the Instance address and API key of your own Dawarich, a self-signed-certificate switch, Test connection and Disconnect. The key is stored encrypted and never handed back. See Dawarich.
  • AI parsing (only when the AI Parsing addon is enabled) — The provider (OpenAI or Anthropic), model and API key used to extract bookings from your uploaded files, plus Send documents as images for vision-capable models. This is the per-user fallback: it only takes effect when your administrator has not configured a model for the whole instance. A local Ollama endpoint is not offered here — that is set up once, instance-wide, in the admin settings (#1772). See AI-Booking-Import.
  • API Keys (whenever the tab is shown): read-only keys for the public API, so other software can read your trips. Create key names the key and lets you narrow what this key may read to single areas; the key is shown once. See Public-API.
  • MCP section (only when MCP addon is enabled):
    • Shows the MCP server endpoint URL.
    • OAuth Clients sub-tab — Create and manage OAuth 2.1 clients (with redirect URIs and scopes). Quick-fill presets are provided for Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. Active OAuth sessions can be viewed and revoked here.
    • API Tokens sub-tab (Deprecated) — Create and manage personal bearer tokens for direct MCP access.
