Not really, I stopped using IOS a year ago because of exactly this reason. Had a lot of problems syncing files because of the power saving. I understand why IOS is doing it and for a normal user I think it is the way to go. But anything beyond that, it only hinders the experience you get out of apps. Maybe someone here as any experience with an app which works reliably.

Thanks :) As a German I really like the name Dawarich. First it sound really nice for me but also that "Da war ich" means "There have i been" in german makes, at least for me, an awesome project name.

Take this with a grain of salt because I have no idea what the plans are for Dawarich or have ever been and this is solely based on my external view. For me the main differences are:

• visits and trips are our main data, everything else is just the way to calculate them. For Dawarich it looks to me, that it is the other way around. It displays all the location data in good way with the heatmap and so on but visits or places seems so tacked on. This should not be an offense against it. I actually still have an instance running and it was the main pushing point to finally start working on Reitti.
• the sleek UI but this depends on your taste

In the end, they are not that far off. Maybe a matter of taste.

Thank you.

At the moment i do not have any plans of providing a way of running it without docker. Mainly because of time to support that.

Since it is a Spring-Boot-Application it would be possible to create a jar file which you can execute or deploy as a service with systemd. But then you have to make sure all prerequisites are also running. That is the one thing I like about docker and especially docker compose.

But short answer: Yes, it is possible but you are on your own at the moment. I would help and maybe we can add a section to the readme how to do it.

I do not think it is that complicated. The front-end sends a request to the back-end with the current selected day. This triggers a search in Immich returning all photos taken on that specific day. This is returned to the front-end and this than does the heavy lifting like filtering them to the current map bounds, displaying them on the map at a specific location. We proxy all request from the front-end through our server because of CORS issues and I did tried to avoid having to configure Immich besides creating a token for the API.

One would need to either create a specific IntegrationService like ImmichIntegrationService and then figure out a way how the user can configure that. The easiest would be that we just then call all available ones even if I do not see the use case of having multiple Photo-Servers. But it would make the code in Reitti cleaner and would not hurt if we do not configure 20 simultaneous servers :D

If you use Photon and only have your main country available, it will fallback to the configured external Geo-coding-services since Photon will not return a result then. So the order of execution is:

• first try Photon
• if it does not return anything, try to call one or all of the available Geo coding services.

no, that would not be a problem as soon as the other image library has an api reitti could query. It just happens that I am settled with immich and had no other needs at the moment.

If you need a specific one, drop a feature request and I will have a look.

Thank you :)

I understand your concerns, this is something every additional app would have to deal with.

For me it is ok to have GPSLogger running all the time, I think for what it is doing it is quite easy on the battery but I do not use my phone actively that much and I am happy if it survives a day which it does.

Never heard of PhotoStructure but if they provide an API where i can search assets for a day and it also returns the exif data especially latitutde and longitude it should be pretty straight forward to implement. Feel free to add a feature request when you got time and I will have a look at it :)

Let me know how it works out for you. If you have the gpx files, you can simply import them inside the settings menu.

That sounds like an awesome idea, actually the data is stored for every user separately depending on the used api token or when you login and do a data import. I will create a feature request for it.

But bear in mind, reitti is not meant to be a real-time tracking app. At the moment, data is processed every 10 minutes.

I have no clue if a raspberry will handle it. There a a couple of services involved to make it fast, but they are then another burden like RabbitMQ. Which make ingesting data instantaneous but you need extra processing power to handle the queues. It all comes with a tradeoff.

For size, there is mainly the PostGIS DB. I just checked and my db is around 800 MB for roughtly 8 1/2 Years of data.

Photon (the reverse geocode enabled in the compose file) is another beast. For Germany it takes 14 GB of storage while running, if you let PARALLELL updates enabled you can double that every time the index is updated. But you can remove that from the compose file and rely on external Geocoders. It is described in https://github.com/dedicatedcode/reitti?tab=readme-ov-file#reverse-geocoding-options

Let me know how it worked out. I am deploying it to my server via docker without an problems, but maybe they are some quirks i missed. :D
