I updated wanderer (v0.6.1) - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database - Lemmy.World

Hey there, it’s been a while since my last post [https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1bgezig/i_made_wanderer_a_selfhosted_trail_and_gps_track/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button]. 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 [https://demo.wanderer.to] alongside a shiny new landing page [https://wanderer.to]. And here are some more fun features I added since then: * Trail drawing: in addition to uploading you GPX, TCX or KML files, you can now also simply draw a trail by defining multiple waypoints. The route between them will be calculated automatically. * Sharing trails: simple and straightforward - you can share your trails with other users and let them view or edit. * Printing trails: there is now a dedicated print view. Plan your adventure digitally and then take it with you on paper. * wanderer is now available in 8 different languages (thanks to translators from the community). If you would like to contribute a translation you can do so here [https://crowdin.com/project/wanderer]. * You can now bulk upload multiple trails at once simply by putting them in a dedicated auto-upload folder 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 [https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer]

Hey, this looks sick. How does it compare to Gaia, which is what I currently use? What layers is there access to?
Looks pretty cool. I’ll have to spin up a VM to give it a try.
Or use the demo ;)

Hey, the demo is really responsive… impressive!

Is this running on a mega spec server - or are the results comparable to the small VM I’d be wanting to run at home? :)

Thanks! No this is an extremely low spec server: 2GB RAM and 2 virtual cores.
Yeah the whole app is really responsive, works great on minimal resources. Excellent for sharing hikes and trails!

If you guys like hiking and stuff, there’s this cool open source app called trail sense on f-droid and it’s just so much feature packed…

I don’t hike, so I only use it for it’s pedometer capabilities and a hypothetical situation where “I might get really lost” but the amount of features it has for hiking and survival is crazy and so I think deserves to be more known.

Yeah, I have trail sense installed - but everytime I’m out and about I just can’t work out how to use the myriad functions it has (like how high something is, etc)…

I really ought to RTFM and try to use it properly

lol RTFM took me a while to figure that one out

Haven’t seen RTFM casually dropped in conversation online in… um… a while…

You’ve been hanging out on the intartoobz at least as long as I have. Circa the paleolithic era, or so…

I’ve been here since before dial-up. I knew Janet in the early days 😉
Thanks, I will definitely give this a try.

Hi, this looks amazing, I’ll try it ! How is Pocketbase? What are your thoughts working with it?

Also, have you thought about federating trails? It would be amazing we could build a decentralized alternative to the big corps.

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.

Is there any support for heart rate data inclusion on recorded trails? Maybe I’m really looking for a different app to keep track of that sort of thing. I haven’t yet started monitoring heart rate on my bike rides but I’m considering options for tracking now.

I host wanderer and really enjoy it for what it is. I’m only supporting my wife and I but am considering opening it up to my friend group.
