Share with family, not a feed.
Public and private visibility controls keep each trip update as open or closed as it needs to be.
Digital postcards from the road.
Postmarked is a self-hosted way to share trip pages, photos, videos, and updates with the people you choose.
Why Postmarked
A quieter place for the trip.
Self-hosted and open source.
Run Postmarked yourself, keep your media under your control, and skip ads, tracking, and social churn.
Posts, photos, and videos.
Build trip pages with a timeline of stops, updates, galleries, and the context people need to follow along.
Admin tools included.
Manage trips, stops, posts, media, users, site text, settings, backups, and RV Trip Wizard imports.
Email when you post.
Subscribers get a notification for each new update, so family follows along without an app, account, or algorithm.
Backups and migration.
Automatic database snapshots for disaster recovery, plus a one-click export to move a small instance between machines.
Trip pages
Each journey gets a home.
Trip pages collect stops, dates, locations, posts, photos, and videos into one readable route for friends and family.
Media galleries
Photos and videos sit with the story.
Galleries keep trip media close to the update it belongs to, so people can see the place without digging through a stream.
Admin UI
Simple publishing from camp or home.
Create posts, attach media, edit site text, manage users, and import RV Trip Wizard spreadsheets from the full admin surface.
Self-host
Docker compose, then go.
Download the compose file and example environment, edit production values, then start the stack.
