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
- Chique design with a dark and light theme
- Fully mobile compatible
wanderer is completely open-source. You can find the GitHub repo here: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer
wanderer is still under active development so if you encounter any bugs/errors or have suggestions please let me know here or open an issue on GitHub.
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.
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.
I LOVE THIS.
Self hosted, GOOD LOOKING (rarity in FOSS), nice to use and privacy-aiding.
Thank you so much!
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?
Kudos to your project so far!
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.
Wanted to ask this. Is it difficult to implement activity pub? That would be awesome. It looks beautiful
Very interesting, I like the screenshots! Will definitely check this out.
Looks cool, just starred
This looks awesome, thanks for posting!
Just cross-posted this to OpenSource. Thank you so Mich. This is great.
Wow. I aspire to be as knowledgeable as you one day. This motivated me.
This looks amazing! Going to play with it tonight. Thanks!!
Looks great!
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!
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
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.
Love it.
I’ve been willing to learn more about programming with location/map data so definitely checking this out.
Are you looking for contributions or help on anything? I think I might at least look at providing a Dutch translation for the front-end if you’re accepting PRs.
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!
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?
And system requirements?
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.
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!
Speed statistics were added in v0.2.0. Hopefully also with some bugfixes.
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.
That’s strange, I never had that happen. If you have the time could you please open an issue on GitHub?
