Hi c/selfhosted,

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

E.g.: https://lemmy.world/u/[email protected]

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.

Would this work like an open-source strava alternative?

It depends a bit on your use case. If you want track your progress on certain trails/tracks, then yes. Although, wanderer currently does not support metrics like heart rate or calories.

wanderer comes with a strava integration that helps you sync your data from strava to wanderer.

Hmm, did Pocketbase add AP support, or how is this implemented behind the scenes?

Very nice project! Thank you for using OpenStreetMap! I love it when the project I contribute to gets used in interesting projects like this!

But some quick notes, related to the map display: It's called OpenStreetMap, there is no s at the end, written in CamelCase without spaces. The other more important problem is you forgot to include the attribution text on the map. For using OSM there is only one requirement, you have to display " OpenStreetMap" somewhere on a corner of the map. More info about this on the website of the OSM foundation: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines

I see the attribution text is displayed on http://trails.tchncs.de/ but not on https://demo.wanderer.to/ so I don't know what's going on.

The basemap display on the demo website uses the tile server from openstreeetmap.org. This is very discouraged, and also can give bad experience to users. The tiles on osm.org are raster tiles, they are regenerated automatically after a change in the map data, they are aimed as a tool for map contributors, not end users. You can read more about this here: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/

There is a new totally free maplibre compatible vector tile provider, which uses the same map data, I recommend to switch to OpenFreeMap. Users can also self host OpenFreeMap, so some really privacy minded users could totally self host the full project this way.

Endurain might be better as a strava alternative,

Interesting project. Is it actually possible to track workouts using your phone or smartwatch without needing proprietary third-party apps like Strava or Garmin Connect though?

The main image shows mobile devices, but I don't see a mobile device build. Are you planning to add releases with precompiled apks?
