Cool! I always recommend OsmAnd.

get_flomped OP ,

Or use the demo ;)

get_flomped OP ,

Thanks! No this is an extremely low spec server: 2GB RAM and 2 virtual cores.

get_flomped OP ,

Exactly! As long as you have the track in a GPX, TCX or KML file, you are good to go.

You can also plan your route directly on wanderer (so you don't fall off another cliff ;))

get_flomped OP ,

I don't know the app. But on the linked page it says it supports GPX and KML. Both of which wanderer supports.

get_flomped OP ,

I really love working with PocketBase. It gives you such a headstart, but also is highly customizable. It's really the best of both worlds.

I made wanderer - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database (lemmy.world)

Over the last two months, I developed wanderer. It is a self-hosted alternative to sites like alltrails.com or in other words a self-hosted trail database. It started out more as a small hobby project to teach myself some new technologies but in the end, I decided to develop it into a fully-fledged application....

get_flomped OP ,

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. Do you mean creating a trail from scratch on the map without recording it before? That is indeed on my roadmap.

get_flomped OP ,

Thanks for promoting wanderer!
Finding trails on the map should be no problem, you can currently mark trails as public so that not logged-in users can see the trail. I have thought of steering wanderer towards a more socially interactive platform. I think a good first step would be to allow comments and implement a rating system.

Thanks for the crowdsourced translation website. I was looking for something like this. I will set it up and add it to the contributing section of the documentation.

get_flomped OP ,

I see. I'm unfamiliar with the protocol, but sharing trails is definitely on the roadmap. So I will look into it!

get_flomped OP ,

You can use whatever device you prefer. In the end, you simply need a GPX file that you upload through the web UI or the API. I am planning to support other formats like KML soon, though.

System requirements should be quite low. On the first startup you will need ~1GB of RAM. After that, the whole stack sits at around 100MB on my machine.

get_flomped OP ,

You can also install it directly on your machine: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer/wiki/Installation#from-source

It's just much more tedious imo.

get_flomped OP ,

wanderer currently parses distance, elevation gain, duration and speed. Parsing heart rate would be an easy addition, though.

get_flomped OP ,

Currently wanderer supports visualising duration, distance, elevation gain and speed. Support for heart rate is planned. It can display a graph (the one you see in the screenshot) and also calculates an average.

get_flomped OP ,

Absolutely. I have it running on a Pi 5 and that's more than enough. You only need 1GB of RAM when first starting wanderer. After that it sits at around 100Mb.

get_flomped OP ,

Happy to help. If you can get a dump of the database it should be quite easy to import it into wanderer via the API 👍

get_flomped OP ,

I think you might misunderstand what wanderer does. It is not a maps service like Open Street Maps. It's simply a database in which you can store your GPS tracks. So the workflow would look like this: you are in the woods and record your track (e.g. with osmand) -> you store your track in GPX format -> you upload your track (and any additional info like a description or photos) to wanderer -> before your next adventure you check wanderer to decide what you want to do

get_flomped OP ,

Logging trips offline requires background location services. This does not work for a simple website. You would need to program an app for that. While this is a plan somewhere down the line, it's still far away. So currently I would recommend relying on an external app to log your trip and import afterwards.

get_flomped OP ,

Offering print support for trails is high on the priority list.

get_flomped OP ,

Speed statistics were added in v0.2.0. Hopefully also with some bugfixes.

get_flomped OP ,

Absolutely all help is welcome. Please check out the roadmap for my current plans.
I'd be delighted if you could add your Dutch translation here:
https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/wanderer/wanderer/nl/

Dank je wel!

get_flomped OP ,

That's strange, I never had that happen. If you have the time could you please open an issue on GitHub?

get_flomped OP ,

With docker you can simply change the port mapping in the compose file
