Hey there,
it’s been a while since my last post. Since then - with the help of this awesome community - I have added multiple new features and fixed a lot of bugs.
Most importantly there is now a working demo alongside a shiny new landing page.
And here are some more fun features I added since then:
And much more. I’d be happy if you give it a try in case you haven’t yet.
GitHub repo: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

It looks amazing!
How well fitted would this be for a Google maps timeline replacement?
I see you mention we need to upload the files which maybe could be obtained from an app like https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger
I already had a flow to have them on my server with syncthing, so I could easily use your api to process them.
The thing would be to have each trail be marked as each day and have a way of showing them nicely (I haven’t tested everything in the demo hehe).
Is there a plan to be able to process any GPS standard to automatically generate the trails?
I’m currently using traccar, but it looks more like a fleet management than something to remember where you’ve been.
Have you seen owntracks? They have client apps too.
Just tried it and seems too complicated haha. With traccar I just had to deploy a single service and use either the official app or previously gpslogger sending the data to an endpoint.
With owntracks the main documentation seems to be deploy it into the base system, docker is kind of hidden.
And with docker you need to deploy at least 3 services: recorder, Mosquitto, and the front end.
The app doesn’t tell you what’s expected to be filled into the fields to connect to the backend. I tried with https but haven’t been able to make it work.
To be fair, this has been just today. But as long as a service has a docker compose I’ve always been able to deploy it in less than 10 minutes, and the rest of the day is just customizing the service.
