OpenHangar — Aircraft ops manager and logbook for owner-operators and clubs, self-hosted and open-source
Self-hosted, open-source platform for pilots, owner-operators, and clubs to manage aircraft maintenance, log flights, track costs and documents, and monitor pilot currency — all in one place.
- Fleet management — model aircraft (airframe, engines, props, avionics); lightweight placeholders for quick onboarding; archive without losing history
- Maintenance tracking — calendar and hours-based triggers; engine/propeller TBO & life-limited components; green/yellow/red dashboard status
- Flight logging — unified aircraft + pilot logbook entry; counter photo proofs; GPS-file autofill; fuel & oil tracking
- Pilot logbook — EASA FCL.050 column mapping; passenger/night currency monitoring; FSTD sessions; CSV/Excel import; crew confirmation between pilots
- GPS tracks — GPX/KML/Garmin import; per-flight maps; track image & animation exports
- Airworthiness — AD/SIB/ARC/STC tracking with automatic EASA sync
- Reservations — per-aircraft booking calendar with approval workflow and cost estimation
- Snags, mass & balance, share links — grounding-aware defect list; CG envelope checks; public QR status pages
- Cost tracking — expenses with receipts; recurring fixed costs; operating-cost (wet-rate) dashboard
- Document management — inline viewer; sensitive-document access controls; Syncthing-friendly storage
- Notifications & PWA — per-user email alerts; installable app with offline flight logging; mobile-first UI with a bottom tab bar, thumb-reachable actions, and touch-friendly forms
- Security — role-based access with per-aircraft permissions; TOTP 2FA; encrypted AES-256-GCM backups with built-in scheduling & retention
- Multi-language — English, French, Dutch; translations managed via Weblate (setup in progress)
Using ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Gemini or another AI assistant? Copy this into it:
Install OpenHangar for me by following
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/e2jk/OpenHangar/main/docs/agent-install.md
It asks you a few questions (home network only, or reachable from the internet with HTTPS? quick setup, or go through the settings?), downloads the images while you answer, then installs and checks that everything works. Assistants that can run commands do it for you; chat-only ones walk you through one command at a time. Your passwords and keys are generated on your machine and never go through the chat.
OpenHangar is deployed as a Docker Compose stack:
- Raspberry Pi / home network guide: step by step, no prior Docker knowledge needed. Works on any 64-bit Linux machine.
- Self-hosting guide: internet-facing setup with HTTPS (Traefik + Let's Encrypt), configuration reference, and upgrade procedure.
