Thanks otter, I tried to have a historical look. Like going to the past and revive some memories. Hope it worked out. I am actually pretty happy with it.

Hello @Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org, i usually use GPSLogger for Android to track my location during the day and this periodically sends the data to reitti whenever i am back at home. I have no idea if you switch off location services what happens on the GPSLogger side of the chain. If it still be able to access GPS I see no problem, if not than this sadly will break the usecase for reitti.

It relies on a consistent GPS tracking data to be able to do its thing

Reitti on its own does not run on your phone. It relies on external apps to track your GPS location like GPSLogger or Owntracks. They will increase the battery consumption but I think it is bearable. I personally have setup GPSLogger to fetch every 30 seconds a GPS location and then sends it every hour to reitti. With that i do not see that more power usage. Currently starting to test how the power drain is with a 15 seconds interval.

Better open a package request (or pull request :D) then 😄

May I ask what you mean by NixOS support? There’s a docker compose you could use in their repo…

services.immich.enable = true;
services.immich.port = 2283;

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

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 github.com/dedicatedcode/reitti?tab=readme-ov-fil…

environment:
  - COUNTRY_CODE=country_one
  - COUNTRY_CODE=country_two

environment:
  - COUNTRY_CODE=[country_one, country_two]

Looks to be a java application with a number of services running alongside- I don’t think it’s going to be lightweight to run on resource constrained devices, but sweet project anyway! (Side note, no clue how you engineers find the time to hack on things like this, I feel like I’ve got so little time to myself I cannot imagine dedicating it to a project like this)

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.

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

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

Thanks :)

No, did not occur to me. What would the integration look like? Connecting it to the message bus to receive location updates? Honestly it is a couple years ago I played with HA.

I was thinking about that, but the main problem is that we do not store all the data which comes in.

If we ingest data from an app, I am pretty sure that the quality of the data is actually usable. But for example if we import an Records.json from Google Takeout. The quality of the earlier years is somewhat sketchy. For this we filter out some points like travelling with over 2000 km/h, sudden direction changes etc and they are lost forever. At least for Reitti they are unknown.

The feature would need a lot of explanation why the data we export is not the same we import.That is the reason I did not implemented it even if it would come in handy for testing stuff. Handling GPX files is a pita …

I would not say compete. They are different in how things are done from my point of view. I want to focus more on the visits we have done in the past to relive some lost memories whereas Dwarich looks more “technical” for me. I have no better words for it, I hope you get my point in what i am trying to achieve with Reitti. So there should be enough room for both 🙂

I also do not have any intentions to offer a hosted version in the foreseeable future or even anytime.

I have no experience with traccar but it seems that it supports live tracking. This is something Reitti does not support. Depends on your usecase, but i think traccar is better suited.

Samesies

It was not intentional but after bothering not about it because i had other things on my mind i got used to it and now like it the way it is.

But for everyone who is bothered by that. If Reitti reaches 1k stars on Github I will add a switch to use a centered one 😊

Congratulations 😆

To help with that I would need some information:

• does it show anything in the logs?
• what do you mean by several years or how big was the Records.json?

Thank you for testing 🙂

It is actually awesome if you have some old photos with the geodata attached and scim through Reitti and suddenly one of them shows up :)

Thank you for testing Reitti. 🙏

It depends on two key requirements for Reitti:

1. First, it finds all photos from Immich taken on the day you selected.
2. Then, it filters these photos based on the selected map bounds, using the embedded EXIF geolocation data (where the photo was shot).

If the EXIF data does not contain geolocation information, we currently cannot display those photos because their placement on the map cannot be determined.

Could you please verify in Immich if the expected photo has its location in the metadata? If it is available there, then the issue might lie in how Reitti is parsing that specific data.

Hi LazyToad,

it depends. Reitti on its own does not import any pictures. It only shows fetches them from Immich. For that to work it needs the geolocation where the image was taken in the exif data. You need to check if your expected image has this data in Immich. If it is available it shoud be displayed on the map if you select the day the picture was taken.

Does it show the location in Immich? You can verify this if you open the image in Immich and let it display the Info.

If it is showing, then it still could be that it is a bug in Reitti. Feel free to open an issue then :)

Cool, thanks for the feedback.

For: 1: There should be something about downloading in the Photon logs. You can check with docker compose logs photon. I do not remember how long it took to download the index for Germany, but it was noticeable. It depends a lot on how you are connected to the internet and then how long it takes to extract the index.

2: You should also see that in the log of Photon. If the default does not work reliably, you can create an account on Geoapify; it is free, and you get 3000 reverse geocode requests per day. I personally have Photon for DE and then the default service and additional Geoapify.

3: Yeah, I was also thinking about that. In the end, a per-user setting and then the overlay should be disabled, but it could take a while until I can get to it.

Thank you very much for these kind words. Means a lot to me if my little tool brings value to you :)

Hi ada,

yes, this will impact the visit calculation. Visits are calculated in building clusters of at least 5 points in a range of 100m over a duration of at least 5 minutes. If there is only one point logged for example at work or home, Reitti is not able to detect when you left it because every point is just an instant in time and does not carry any duration information with it.

The more points we have to calculate Visits the more accurate it will be. I personally have set up GPSLogger to log every 30 seconds no matter how far I travelled but with at least 40m of accuracy.

Greetings, @Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyz, that sounds like a truly wonderful idea, and as a fellow cat owner, it brings me great joy to hear about it. 😻

In fact, I have recently changed the analysis of data, which is now performed in near real-time as soon as new data becomes available. I am currently working on the functionality to display multiple users (or, in your case, Pandora) on the map, which should be beneficial to your idea.

Now, the primary question is, how can we integrate the data from the tracker into Reitti. Thats something I have no idea at the moment. Do you have any Infos about that?

If you are running Reitti with Docker, you can set the environment variable DANGEROUS_LIFE to true. This will enable a new section in the Settings. There, you can use the button ‘Clear and Reprocess’. This will delete all visits and trips and set all raw data points to unprocessed. During the next run, everything will be recalculated. In that settings section, you could also press the ‘Start Processing’ button if you don’t want to wait. Make sure to wait until the success message appears. It can take a while until all data is deleted and switched to unprocessed.
