Maurice 7da0080557 docs(wiki): bring the wiki in line with 4.0.0 (#2034)
* docs(wiki): correct the install and operations pages for 4.0.0

Quick Start passed docker an empty ENCRYPTION_KEY: an assignment prefix is not
expanded on the same command line, so the server silently generated its own key
instead of taking the one the page told you to set. The tag examples pinned to
the 3.x line, the documented tmpfs size did not match the shipped compose file,
and several .env values were described as reaching the container when compose
never interpolates them.

* docs(wiki): match the MCP reference to the registered surface

The scope table was missing the whole Collections group and the totals said 27
scopes across 13 groups where the code registers 29 across 14. The Cloudflare
link on the setup page pointed at an anchor on its own page instead of the
heading on Troubleshooting.

* docs(wiki): correct the plugin and admin pages

Three links to Plugin-Development carried a .md suffix, which does not resolve on
the wiki. The admin pages described tabs, permissions and storage behaviour that
had moved on.

* docs(wiki): bring the feature pages back in line with the app

Costs still documented the old panel, where categories could be added, renamed,
reordered and deleted; they are fixed now and the panel is a day-grouped ledger
with settlements. Trip sharing, journeys, maps, packing, reservations and the
account pages had all drifted in the same way.

* docs(wiki): cover the pages the first pass did not reach

The MCP catalog listed 168 of the 201 registered tools; the settlement tools and
rate_place were missing here and the Collections family from the addon page.
Several resource rows claimed a trips:* scope where the handler asks for
trips:read.

* docs(wiki): tighten the corrections a review picked apart

The audit-log resource is the row id, not the credential id; an admin password
reset does not bump password_version the way the page implied; and a few of the
new paragraphs described behaviour more confidently than the code supports.

* docs(wiki): fix what a last read-through caught

Costs shows every figure in your display currency, not the trip's, and an
expense with no payer still counts against the members it is split between.
Studio's cutoff is a 1024px viewport rather than phones alone, and the
Integrations tab is gated on the providers an admin has configured.

* docs(wiki): the last few the review caught

A passkey satisfies the MFA policy everywhere except the WebSocket handshake,
which still asks for TOTP, so a passkey-only account under that policy gets no
live updates. Mobile optimizes a day from two places, not three. The ctx.db row
carried an unescaped pipe that split the table, and the Backups table linked
with a wiki link whose pipe did the same.

# Install: Portainer
Install TREK on Portainer using a Stack (Docker Compose).
## Prerequisite
Portainer must be installed and connected to your Docker environment. Use **Stacks** — it supports Docker Compose and gives you the full compose syntax including environment variables, volumes, and restart policies.
## Create a Stack
![Stacks page with arrows pointing to the Stacks menu item and the Add stack button](assets/portainer-add-stack.png)
1. In Portainer, go to **Stacks → Add stack**.
2. Give the stack a name (e.g. `trek`).
3. Select **Web editor** and paste the compose file from [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/blob/main/docker-compose.yml).
![Web editor with the docker-compose content pasted in](assets/portainer-stack-save.png)
4. Fill in the environment variables at the bottom of the page.
![Environment variables section with key/value fields filled in](assets/portainer-environment-variable.png)
5. Click **Deploy the stack**.
![Deploy the stack button highlighted](assets/portainer-deploy-stack.png)
## Compose Content
See https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/blob/main/docker-compose.yml
Set at minimum `ENCRYPTION_KEY`, `TZ`, and `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` in the **Environment variables** section of the stack editor. Portainer's stack variables are only substituted into `${...}` placeholders in the compose file, they are not injected into the container, and the shipped compose file interpolates exactly four: `ENCRYPTION_KEY`, `TZ`, `LOG_LEVEL`, and `ALLOWED_ORIGINS`.
Every other variable ships commented out, so setting it here does nothing. To use one — `APP_URL`, for example, which OIDC needs and which email notification links are built from — uncomment its line in the **Web editor** and put the value there directly, or change it to `- APP_URL=${APP_URL:-}` so the stack variable is picked up.
Generate an encryption key with:
```bash
openssl rand -hex 32
```
## Image Tags
Three tag strategies are available:
| Tag | Example | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| `latest` | `mauriceboe/trek:latest` | Always the newest release across all major versions |
| Major version | `mauriceboe/trek:4` | Latest release pinned to that major version |
| Full version | `mauriceboe/trek:4.0.0` | Exact release; never changes |
Use `latest` or a major-version tag (e.g. `4`) if you want automatic updates on redeploy. Use a full version tag (e.g. `4.0.0`) if you want explicit control over which release runs.
## Updating
How you update depends on the tag you chose:
**`latest` or major-version tag** — In Portainer, open the stack, click **Redeploy**, enable the **Re-pull image and redeploy** switch, then confirm. Portainer will pull the newest matching image and recreate the container.
![Re-pull image and redeploy switch ticked, with arrows pointing to the switch and the Update button](assets/portainer-force-pull.png)
**Pinned full-version tag** — Edit the stack, change the tag in the `image:` line (e.g. `4.0.0` → `4.0.1`), then click **Update the stack**. No need to toggle the re-pull switch — a tag change forces a fresh pull.

![Edit stack page with an arrow pointing to the Update the stack button](assets/portainer-update-stack.png)
> Back up your data before any update. Go to **Admin Panel → Backups** or copy your `./data` and `./uploads` directories. See [Backups](Backups).
## Volumes
| Stack-relative path | Container path | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| `./data` | `/app/data` | SQLite database, logs, encryption key |
| `./uploads` | `/app/uploads` | Uploaded files (photos, documents, covers, avatars) |
Portainer resolves `./` relative to the stack's working directory. Confirm the paths under **Stack details** after deploying.
### Named Volumes
You can use Docker named volumes instead of bind mounts. Named volumes are fully managed by Docker and not tied to a host path — a good fit for Portainer where the working directory can vary. See the [Docker Compose volumes reference](https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/volumes/) for all options.
Replace the `volumes:` block in the service and add a top-level declaration:
```yaml
services:
app:
# ... (rest of service config unchanged)
volumes:
- trek_data:/app/data
- trek_uploads:/app/uploads
volumes:
trek_data:
trek_uploads:
```
Portainer lists named volumes under **Volumes** in the sidebar, where you can inspect or back them up.
