About wanderer
wanderer is a self-hosted trail catalogue. You upload recorded GPS tracks or create new ones, then add metadata so the collection becomes searchable. It works as a private record of past adventures and a place to plan new routes.
It runs on your own server, with Docker Compose files included in the repository, and is used through a web interface. The project has an active history of well over a thousand commits, translations managed through Crowdin, and a plugins folder for extensions.
