For those unfamiliar, Dawarich is a self hosted location tracker / timeline
Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.

This looks cool, I was thinking about this as part of de-googleing.
~~Does it have location sharing like google's services?~~ A little reading and I find the answer is OwnTracks or Overland
There's also GPS logger, maybe more up-to-date :) and more privacy friendly !
Android app, never mind
Oooh, that's a pretty cool project.
I'm new to this app and confused. If I install/configure OwnTracks, what else do I get from Dawarich?
Dawarich cleans a gpx route (if I understood it right), translates gps points to real world locations, calculated distances, and shows a map.
I track my position with gpslogger, yet I've got no direct map and the trash gps points at home is large
Awesome, thank you.
Very cool project, thank you ! I will give it a try on my next bike escapade !
Android GPS logger:
You may also want to check your environment, as there can be inaccuracy due to clouds, buildings, sunspots, alien invasion, etc.
I'm trying to get Dawarich up on my server via Docker. It runs via local IP, but when I access via domain.com:6001 (port I've set in docker-compose.yml), I get error stating this is not allowed host and I should add it via config.hosts << "domain.com:6001"
When I do add domain.com:6001 to APPLICATION_HOSTS in environment in docker-compose and create new containers with compose up -d, I still get error.
I've also tried this, but the port seems to throw it off and not including the port does the same.
