Hi c/selfhosted,

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

E.g.: https://lemmy.world/u/demo@demo.wanderer.to

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.

    Just to say, even tho I do not have an immediate use case, the demo is very nice. It looks very polished and professional. Everything seemed to fit together nicely. I have bookmarked it in my /future_projects/ folder.

      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.

          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?

            Depending on your device, gadgetbridge might do the trick as an intermediary. I went from my Garmin watch -> AmazFit watch based on compatibility w/ GadgetBridge and it allows you to export the .gps files and upload to many self-hosted apps.

            Sure, use your favourite app to track your workout and upload it to wanderer afterwards. It also supports auto uploads through a folder. So you can just place your workout file in the folder and wanderer does the rest.

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

      With a lot of blood, sweat and tears 😅 I extended PocketBase to add support. But the AP endpoints are still in the svelte frontend, which then proxies requests to PocketBase if necessary.
