Hello! Dawarich needs not "at least" but precisely four containers to run: the app itself, background jobs process, database and redis for cache and background jobs queues. I also have some ideas on how to reduce number of containers in the future :)
Hi, what were the issues you have encountered in Dawarich? Any feedback appreciated!
Check out Dawarich, it has an official iOS app and you can use a number of 3rd party mobile apps to track your data and then upload it to server: either ran on your own hardware (FOSS self-hosted) or to the Dawarich Cloud one:

The entire planet's worth reverse geocoding data is ~120gb. The map tiles file for whole planet is also ~120gb, and they both are precompiled, so you don't need hundreds of gbs of RAM to run your local planet. It's easier than you probably think nowadays. Not mobile-size, but local server-size
Looks awesome and I love the approach! About a year ago, I went through pretty much the same process and built Dawarich, although it's only now I'm starting touching the topic of sharing location publicly, not just recording it for further visualization.
Great work!

Hey guys, I wanted to show you an application I built during the last year and a half or so.It's called Dawarich and it's a free open-source self-hostable web app that is aimed to replace Google Timeline. And it did for me and couple of hundreds of self-hosters.Recently my partner and I also launched a subscription-based cloud version, so those who don't have time or not interested in...
It depends on how detailed you want your location history to be and also on how you configure your mobile app. Both Overland and Owntracks allow enabling and disabling location tracking. And what they have tracked is being sent to Dawarich, so it's up to client's config.
Dawarich supports importing GPX files, I think both Garmin and Strava can export to this format
Yeah, I want to somehow address this too, Dawarich will suggest a place that you visited and will keep it inside a visit record, so it won't be overridden if some other business will open there instead.
I'm not sure if I got the question but feel free to join the discord server and we'll have a chat about it!
Hi, what kind of output formats do you have in your app? Maybe I'd like to have them in Dawarich too :)
Hi, Dawarich author here. Thanks for posting it here, it seems like I got my hands to work on it just in time!
