Third-party integration strategy and specific requests

Technical Positioning
Ecosystem compatibility, self-hosted focus, data centralization.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue serves as a critical aggregation point for TREK's integration strategy, revealing a strong user demand for connectivity with other self-hosted and specialized services. The explicit prioritization of "self-hosted philosophy" over "Cloud-only services with complex OAuth flows" defines TREK's market niche and development roadmap. Users seek to centralize data from photo management (Synology Photos, Photoprism), document storage (Papra), flight tracking (AirTrail), and home automation (Home Assistant). This indicates a clear desire for TREK to act as a hub within a broader personal data ecosystem, reducing redundancy and enhancing overall utility. The success of TREK hinges on strategically expanding these integrations.

[INTEGRATION REQUEST] Collect all integration requests here

## Integration Requests

This is the central place to collect and discuss integration requests for TREK.

We get a lot of requests for connecting TREK with external services. Since we can't integrate everything, this issue serves as a **voting thread** — upvote (👍) the integrations you'd like to see, and the most requested ones may be considered for future releases.

### How to request an integration
1. **Check the comments below** to see if your integration has already been requested
2. If yes → **upvote it** with a 👍 reaction
3. If no → **add a comment** with:
- Service name (e.g. "Komoot", "Google Calendar")
- What it should do (e.g. "Import routes", "Sync trip dates")
- Why it's useful for trip planning

### Currently integrated
- **Immich** — Self-hosted photo sharing (Photos addon)
- **Google Places API** — Place search, details, photos
- **OpenStreetMap / Nominatim** — Free place search fallback
- **Nager.Date** — Public holiday data (Vacay)
- **GPX import** — Import waypoints from any GPX-compatible app
---

*Not every integration can or will be built. TREK is a self-hosted tool and prioritizes integrations that align with the self-hosted philosophy (Immich, OSM, GPX). Cloud-only services with complex OAuth flows are lower priority.*

# Synology Photos integration Just like Immich for linking photos as a memory.

# [Papra](https://github.com/papra-hq/papra) for document storage **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** I want to attach documents but usually I try to avoid redundancy and don't want my travel related documents to be available only in TREK. **Describe the solution you'd like** Connect with the document management solution Papra to save documents directly from within TREK into Papra and search Papra for existing documents and link them in TREK. Papra has an API that is capable of this and then redundancy could be avoided easily. **Describe alternatives you've considered** Create a link in Papra and attach it in TREK. But this wouldn't be seamless and an extra login would be required when opening the link.

# [AirTrail](https://github.com/johanohly/AirTrail) **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** I have maintained all my flights in AirTrail. This is a great self-hosted tool for flight tracking, history and stats. I don't want to maintain those flights again and also want to keep using AirTrail. **Describe the solution you'd like** Integration with AirTrail to retrieve or link flight data from it that it's not necessary to maintain the flights again.

# Photoprism [Photoprism](https://www.photoprism.app/) is very similar to Immich and has the advantage of a [simple API](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/blob/79ceeb1a/internal/api/swagger.json) that could be used to link to an album or get geo-tagged photos of a specific location. Integrating Photoprism should be simpler due to the documentation using [DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/photoprism/photoprism)
