Canonical page: https://ourlocalhost.com/app/26/dawarich-db ## Description Dawarich DB sets up a PostGIS (PostgreSQL spatial extension) database container that serves as the data store for Dawarich, a self-hosted web app that replaces Google Maps Timeline. It runs the PostGIS/PostgreSQL backend so you can import your location history from Google Maps Timeline or Owntracks, visualise it on an interactive map, and explore statistics such as countries and cities visited and total distance travelled. It is for self-hosters who want a private location-history map and statistics without depending on Google. ## Platform availability Available on 3 of 9 platforms: Unraid, TrueNAS, Proxmox. ## Health score 68/100 (Good), based on 4 of 4 factors. - Maintained: 100 (last commit 18 days ago) - Popular: 67 (2,240 GitHub stars) - Easy to install: 35 (1 install platform, install notes, Docker image) - Light to run: 30 (4 GB minimum RAM) ## Links - GitHub: https://github.com/postgis/postgis - TrueNAS: https://apps.truenas.com/catalog/dawarich - Proxmox: https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=dawarich - Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/postgis/postgis/ - Unraid: https://ca.unraid.net/apps/dawarich-db-1epr4l2161txw2?q=dawarich_db - Official website: https://dawarich.app - Documentation: https://dawarich.app/docs/FAQ/ ## 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. ## Alternatives - GeoPulse: GeoPulse Compose Installer is a Unraid Community Apps plugin that links to the supported Docker Compose setup for GeoPulse, a privacy-first… - Google Maps: Navigate efficiently with real-time traffic updates, turn-by-turn GPS, panoramic street views, and comprehensive route planning for multipl… - OwnTracks: OwnTracks is your location companion, it allows you to keep track of your own location. - Reitti: Reitti is a comprehensive personal location tracking and analysis application that helps you understand your movement patterns and signific… - Roadtrippers: Turn your road trip into an adventure. - Stopful: Free, map-first road-trip planner: add stops and get drive times, day splits, hotels and EV chargers along the route, budget, and share-by-… - TREK: TREK is a self-hosted, real-time collaborative travel planner with interactive maps, budgets, bookings, packing lists, file management, and… - TripIt: TripIt organizes your travel plans in one place. - Tripsy: A trip planner that lets you share your travel itinerary with family and friends, receive flight alerts, store documents, sync everything w… - adventurelog: Self-hostable travel tracker and trip planner that lets you log where you've been, plan what's next, and view your travels on a single map. - timelinize: Store your data from all your accounts and devices in a single cohesive timeline on your own computer - traccar: Traccar is an open-source GPS tracking system supporting over 170 GPS protocols and 1,500+ device models. --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/26/dawarich-db), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
