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!
Fittrackee has been what I use instead of Strava. Also FOSS.
I LOVE THIS.
Self hosted, GOOD LOOKING (rarity in FOSS), nice to use and privacy-aiding.
Thank you so much!
This is an excellent use case for a self hosted service, since location data is frequently used for nefarious purposes.
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.
That and sharing it with other users through the ActivityPub protocol (what Lemmy uses)
I see. I’m unfamiliar with the protocol, but sharing trails is definitely on the roadmap. So I will look into it!
Welcome to Lemmy! I recently posted about Wanderer also in another self-hosting community: https://slrpnk.net/post/7887187
As someone interested in self-hosting this, I have two questions:
How far is it suitable for say a local hiking association or a small municipal government to use this as a public trail database to promote regional eco-tourism efforts? Where I live the local government has something like that, but it is badly maintained. For that to work it would need to have the ability to easily find trails on an overview map and to allow posting notices about trail closures etc. (ideally even crowd sourced?) Maybe also some way to mark trails as official, if they are designated and sign-posted.
Unrelated: have you thought about allowing the live-tracking via apps like Phonetrack or OSMand? I think that would make it both more convenient for uploading tracks (at least where there is sufficient cell-coverage) and might add an interesting social aspect to it if you can share your live-location with other users.
P.S.: Would be great if you could add it to https://translate.codeberg.org/ for adding additional languages easily.
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.
Very interesting, I like the screenshots! Will definitely check this out.
The screenshot looks awesome! I’m currently on vacation and will definitely try it out.
Wow. I aspire to be as knowledgeable as you one day. This motivated me.
How do I change port to something else? 3000 is already used by Gitea :)
No that port is used by Homepage. B)
Come on man.
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.
Any chance to pack it into a single container instead of three? Would make it easier to work with unraid.
Database is rarely, if ever bundled into the app container, unless it’s SQLite.
Yes, unraid community apps are a bit unconventional in this regard, everything needed should be in one container here.

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

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.
Looks great!
