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.
Core Features:
Manage your trails
Extensive map integration and visualization
Share trails with other people and explore theirs
Advanced filter and search functionality
Create custom lists to organize your trails further
Would be nice with activity pub support for sharing planned and recorded trails. Cone to think of it. Does it make that distinction? Planned vs recorded? How about a planning, route finding mode?
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.
Strava has continued to enshittify the app to the point that I’m getting ads after every activity. Anyway, I decided to delete it after yesterday’s run and will keep an eye on this project. Thanks!
You mean after the price hike they also hiked the number of ads? I canceled when they hiked the price and managed to get it down to the old price a few months later, so I renewed for the personal heatmap. Looks like I’m definitely canceling again. I doubt they’ll give me the price break twice anyway.
Baking ads into a timeline like Strava and some other apps do has to be the worst app trend ever.
Super cool thank you for making this! I just got a bike for the first time in over 20 years and I’m ready to explore my area. I have been trying out those other apps like all trails and trail forks, everything being so paywalled is frustrating.
The bike I just got, it’s a beaut. A Clem Smith Jr. L from Rivendell Bike Works. I’m loving just scoping out parts and things but it’s a super great bike already.
I look forward to trying this out and thanks again!
I’ve done that, all containers report healthy, but still can’t connect. I’ve tried changing ORIGIN to ip;port, domain: port, still nothing. Really weird.
I tried Wanderer few days ago and I did find it very nice, yet quite buggy.
I was forced to update the page a second time before being able to do something, for an example using the menu.
But other than that, I find Wanderer very nice! Just miss seeing mainly how fast I was travelled in km/h. The statistics and details provided in workout-tracker1 is absolutely amazing! If you add such details into your project, that would be awesome!
Very nice :) Me like! But the bug is still there when you have clicked on a trail on the home page. The page just scrolls up to the top and you have to update the page to see the trail.
These may be answered elsewhere, but like some other interested people in this post, I fully intend on trying to load a copy of this when I get home from vacation.
What methods/devices do you use to upload/sync the data? Other than a regular smart phone, were you able to use other GPS enabled devices like garmin or apple smart watches?
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.

Kudos to your project so far!
Wanted to ask this. Is it difficult to implement activity pub? That would be awesome. It looks beautiful

I LOVE THIS.
Self hosted, GOOD LOOKING (rarity in FOSS), nice to use and privacy-aiding.
Thank you so much!

If you just like the personal heat map then checkout grrrmin_heatmap. It’s a pretty flexible python script for generating them.
This appears to be what I’ve been looking for. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.

This looks amazing! Going to play with it tonight. Thanks!!
How do I change port to something else? 3000 is already used by Gitea :)
With docker you can simply change the port mapping in the compose file

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

That’s strange, I never had that happen. If you have the time could you please open an issue on GitHub?
Very interesting, I like the screenshots! Will definitely check this out.
Just cross-posted this to OpenSource. Thank you so Mich. This is great.
Looks cool, just starred
Looks great!

But why the Docker :(((
Read just a bit further and they explain how to install from source, although I don’t see why you would go through the hassle
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.
