Hi c/selfhosted,

I just released wanderer v0.17.0, which brings full federation support to the project.

E.g.: https://lemmy.world/u/demo@demo.wanderer.to

For anyone new to it: wanderer is a self-hosted platform for managing hiking, biking, or running trails. You can upload or draw GPS tracks, organize them into lists, add photos, metadata, waypoints, and summit logs. It’s open source and designed for people who want full control over their outdoor data, with a clean UI and no third-party dependencies.

What’s new in v0.17.0

This release adds support for ActivityPub, meaning instances of wanderer can now talk to each other—and to the wider fediverse. Here’s what that enables:

• Follow users across instances When you follow someone, any new trails or lists they upload will show up in your feed automatically.
• Like and comment on trails, even across servers.
• Mentions You can mention other users in trail descriptions, comments, or summit logs, and they’ll be notified—regardless of which instance they’re on.
• Summit logs from others Other users can now log their own visits to your public trails with GPS data and photos.
• Cross-instance trail sharing Public trails can be shared with users on other instances.

If you’re not interested in federation, that’s fine too. wanderer still works completely standalone—federation only kicks in when you start interacting with other instances.

Hey everyone, #What is wanderer? wanderer is a self-hosted GPS track database. You can upload your recorded GPS tracks or create new ones and add various metadata to build an easily searchable catalogue. Think of it as a fully FOSS alternative to sites like alltrails, komoot or strava. #What is new? I'm coming back here to tell you a bit about what has been happening since my last update. Since then, we implemented some highly requested features:

1. A fancy new 3D model on the front page (there is an easter egg, can you find it?)
2. wanderer now uses vector map tiles which results in a significant performance boost for everything map-related
3. As a result, we now also support topographical 3D maps in wanderer (see gif)
4. Greatly improved social features: from list sharing, over profile pages and activity feeds to notifications
5. The better location search allows you to search right down to the address
6. And finally probably the most requested feature: integrations. You can now sync all your trails from strava and komoot directly with wanderer without having to manually export/import them

Big thanks to everyone who contributed code or translations! If you have any suggestions/questions feel free to let me know below.

Have a great weekend!

Hey everyone, wanderer recently celebrated it’s 10th anniversary. Well, as far as minor versions go at least.

First and foremost: What is wanderer? wanderer is a self-hosted GPS track database. You can upload your recorded GPS tracks or create new ones and add various metadata to build an easily searchable catalogue. Think of it as a fully FOSS alternative to sites like alltrails, komoot or strava.

Next: Thank you for almost 1.2k stars on GitHub. It’s a great motivation to see how well-received wanderer is.

By far the most requested feature since my last post was the possibility to track your acitivities. This is now possible on the new profile page which shows various statistics to help you gain better insights into your trailing/running/biking habits. Lists have also received a major upgrade allowing you easily bundle a multiday hike and share it with other users.

If you want to give wanderer a try without installing it you can try the demo. When you are ready to self-host it you can head over to wanderer.to to see the full documentation and installation guide. If you really like wanderer and would like to support its development directly you can buy me a coffee.

Thanks again! Cheers Flomp

Hey there,

it's been a while since my last post. 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 alongside a shiny new landing page.

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.
• 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.

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.
