## Common questions

### What should I do if I did not set the admin email and password before the first start?

TREK creates an admin account on first boot and prints the credentials in the log. If you did not set ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_PASSWORD in advance, those log credentials are the only way in.

### Which data folders and key should I configure before starting TREK?

Set ENCRYPTION_KEY and point your local ./data and ./uploads folders into the container. This keeps trips and uploads on your machine and protects stored settings; without it, data can be lost or unreadable.

### Which port should I open for the web app?

Map port 3000 to your local machine so the browser can open TREK. Without that mapping, TREK may start but you cannot log in or use it.

### Can I use maps and place search without API keys?

Yes, MapLibre GL can use OpenFreeMap without a token, and place search can use OpenStreetMap without a key. 3D buildings and terrain are only available with Mapbox.

### Can I import flight or hotel confirmations from files?

Yes, TREK can import EML, PDF, PKPass, HTML, and TXT confirmations through KItinerary. The Docker image includes the required kitinerary-extractor binary.

### Can I export trip maps or calendar data?

Yes, you can export GPX for a trip's places and tracks. You can also export an ICS feed for one trip or across all trips.
