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.

Agreed. I don't know why people post so many random projects' minor update releases with no context.
Yeah it's very frustrating. Unless there's a bunch of exciting features, just let it be. Especially these niche little repos.
If you want to promote a repo, better to make a post with details on what it is, does, and what you like about it. Not just posting a small update with only the title of the project followed by "released".
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.
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
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 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.
Oooh, that's a pretty cool project.
