Träwelling

Träwelling is a free check-in service that lets you tell your friends where you are and where you can log your public transit journeys. In short, you can check into trains and get points for it. Check it out at traewelling.de.

Set up an instance

Option 1: Using docker compose

In the docker folder you will find a sample docker-compose.yml and minimal settings in the .env files. Adjust the values according to your requirements and start the containers:

cd docker
docker-compose up

You can have sample data created if you set the environment variable SEED_DB=true.

Option 2: Manual installation (e.g. for local development)

To set up a Träwelling instance you'll need:

npm
MariaDB or MySQL (SQLite is used for running tests)
Composer
PHP 8.1 and the dependencies mentioned in composer.json

A local instance of db-rest v5 is recommended for the connection to HAFAS. Alternatively you can use a public instance (see .env.example).

After setting up these, you can clone the repository and install the project's dependencies:

composer install
npm install
npm run dev

Now, you can create your own environment configuration:

cp .env.example .env
vi .env

Please change whatever sounds wrong to you. This is also the place to add API keys (e.g. for Twitter). While you will not need all of those, you can stumble into weird bugs.

Then, generate some application keys and migrate the database to the latest level:

php artisan optimize
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate 
#for example data use 
#php artisan db:seed
php artisan passport:install

Use your webserver of choice or the in php included dev server (php artisan serve) to boot the application. You should see the Träwelling homepage at http://localhost:8000.
