This app sets up a PostGIS database container for Dawarich. Dawarich is a self-hosted web app designed to replace Google Timeline (aka Google Location History). Visualize your data on an interactive map, import your location history from Google Maps Timeline and Owntracks, and explore statistics like the number of countries and cities visited, total distance traveled, and more! PostGIS is a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL object-relational database. The postgis/postgis image provides tags for running Postgres with PostGIS extensions installed. NOTE: Do not use autoupdate and do not update any Dawarich container backing up your data first and checking for breaking changes in the updating guides. https://dawarich.app/docs/updating-guides https://dawarich.app/docs/tutorials/backup-and-restore

First-install notes

  • Start with Docker Compose Ensure Docker is installed, then run docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up to start the application services. If you skip this, the web app, database, and workers are not running, so the service will not be available. source
  • Create .env from .env.example Copy .env.example to .env and fill in the required values before starting the stack. Missing or incorrect values can stop the app from starting or connecting to its database. source
  • Use the frontend Docker network for proxies If you will put Dawarich behind a reverse proxy, run docker network create frontend so the proxy can reach the services. Skipping it can block external access even though the app is running inside Docker. source

Common questions

How do I start the Dawarich services that include the database?

Use Docker Compose with the docker-compose.yml file to start the web app, database, and workers. If this step is skipped, the service is not available.

What should I check if Dawarich fails to start or connect to its database?

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in the required values before starting the stack. Missing or incorrect values can stop the app from starting or connecting to the database.

How should I expose Dawarich through a reverse proxy?

Create a frontend Docker network and run the proxy on it so it can reach the services. Without this, external access may be blocked even though the app is running inside Docker.

Can I import existing Google Location History into Dawarich?

Yes, Dawarich can import Google Timeline data. It also supports data from OwnTracks and GPSLogger.

Do the iOS and Android apps work offline?

Yes, the iOS and Android apps can track offline and upload automatically once you are back online.
