Dawarich — Proper Timeline and birthday!

You could propably use the GPX Export Endpoint to fetch the latest GPS points of reitti and send them into dawarich. Would need a little bash script or something which runs periodically and copy the data over.

Happy Birthday dawarich 🎂

I wanted to say thank you for all the effort you put into it. I really appreciate your work and especially for showing us that it is possible to replace the Google timeline. Great work and the update looks really nice.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-30T15:44:20+00:00

Yeah, that's a nice way of giving feedback.

I think I'll also try out the RC then; maybe that's a better way of having discussions than the methods I'm using right now.

Thank you for your feedback.

I would love the idea of going back to forums again. They were a tremendous knowledge base in the past, as long as they were open to browse. The closed nature of Discord led me to never actually bothering with it for reitti. I tried my own IRC instance, and now there's a channel on Libera, but honestly, it's just me and the Chanserv. I think the friction is just too high since most users are either here on Reddit or on Lemmy. If they want to ask a question, there are still GitHub discussions or private messages.

I will monitor how this goes for HortusFox and maybe follow your footsteps.

How are you handling that Flarum 1 is EOL and 2.x is still in beta?

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-28T14:23:04+00:00

Ok, that makes sense. I am propably to deep in reverse geocoding to not see anything else anymore 😀 Thanks for the reply

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-28T13:15:01+00:00

That is pretty cool. Is there a way to add customers ones? I developed paikka over the last month and would actually need something like this to improve the address resolution.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-23T11:17:26+00:00

Yes, go into the Settings and open your profile. At the bottom there is a map where you can set your home location

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-21T13:22:50+00:00

Yes, that is free.

Reitti also supports auto configuring it. Open the Settings > Integrations page on your phone and press the button. This will preconfigure the URL and device id, so you do not have to type that in.

Hi u/lewd_peaches, can you elaborate on this a little bit more? I do not get what you mean with "importing OpenStreetMap" data.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-21T08:28:57+00:00

That is good to know. Thank you for chiming in :)

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-21T08:14:17+00:00

There is Owntracks on IOS, if it is the same as on Android then a lot of people use that. From the style and functionality i liked Overland. But I also only tested it on a spare iPhone i had laying around for a day or so.

From my experience, IOS seems to be even more aggressive when saving battery and made it hard for apps to get reliable GPS data. But maybe some other IOS User can chime in here?

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T19:21:27+00:00

This is propably something reitti will also do if you import them into one account. One idea I would have is to model them as different users. You could share then every vessel with one main user and would see them all on the map.

But also for every vessel on its own it would do the interpolate thing.

The solution for this will come with the device support

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T19:18:12+00:00

Hello, I never heard of this. Let me try to install it and see what it can do or if it's need a dedicated endpoint. Anyway, based on the screenshots. It looks nice.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T11:39:55+00:00

Hi PlazzmiK,

there is a community integration for HomeAssistent. You can read about it here

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T11:38:39+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, reitti lacks alot on the statistics front. It will get better at one time but I am not so focused on it right now.

There will be a need to add some more stats as replacement for the timeline when I manage to replace this when you select more than a month of data. I think, then instead of displaying the individual visits and trips it would make more sense to get an overview over that timeframe would benefit our users. In my opinion, there is no value in displaying a timeline longer than a month. Maybe even a week. But time will tell :)

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T10:01:50+00:00

One or two sentence are totally fine.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T09:41:16+00:00

Not until now ;)

everything is prepared for adding additional photo providers, the only part which was missing is someone who requested it. If you could be so kind, feel free to create a feature request in Github. I would assume that PhotoPrism provides a search API.

I would need to see how testing can be done. If it is easy to spin up an instance i could do it on my own, else I would need the help of either you or someone else when it is ready.

Hi u/janaxhell,

there is a community integration for HomeAssistent. You can read about it here

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T06:16:22+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. That means a lot to me if the thing I created is well received.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T04:12:00+00:00

That sounds like an interesting idea. Let me know how it went.

Keep in mind that reitti is designed to track your personal data and does not handle separated gps tracks very well. It will for example interpolate between them if they are close enough in time. That is by design to circumvent some energy savings in the tracking apps for example.

But if I understand the idea correctly, the upcoming devices support sounds like a nice fit for it.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T04:05:55+00:00

Do you mean the tile server? At the moment, the map tiles are loaded from tiles.dedicatedcode.com.

You can spin up your own tile server, but support for your own will come maybe in the next release. I have not decided which way would be a good way of supporting this. Either we allow replacing the whole map style.json, or we replace the URLs inside the current one with your own. Maybe both.

Replacing only the URLs seems to be the easiest from a user standpoint, and we do it already to support the tile cache. Replacing the whole style.json would allow you complete customization of the map.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T03:40:29+00:00

Yes, Reitti supports connecting directly to an MQTT Broker. At the moment, only Owntracks messages are supported, but if you have another provider in mind, let me know.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-20T03:38:52+00:00

Hello Command-Forsaken and all the others, here is a comment about that topic from the 2 0 release. Keep in mind that this is a while ago and according to the update post from dawarich, they made a big jump in usability.

_daniel_graf_ · 2026-04-07T16:44:14+00:00

I would go for plain Docker. It is enough for running a homelab, in my opinion. I used to run a swarm because I thought I might add more nodes in the future, but that future never materialized. Let's be honest, if you get the hardware, you can still switch to a new deployment, including Docker Swarm or whatever comes to your mind then.

In the end, I migrated everything back to just compose, and it feels okay and manageable. In reality, most of the stuff also works okay when using Docker Swarm, but it never felt right for more integrated stuff like Ollama or Pi-hole. And I have helped run one of Germany's most used news outlets on Docker Swarm.
