A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to introduce Reitti, a location tracking and analysis application designed to help you gain insights about your movement patterns and significant places—all while keeping your data private on your own server.

Core Capabilities:

  • Visit Tracking: Automatically recognizes and categorizes the places where you spend time, using customizable detection algorithms
  • Trip Analysis: Analyzes your movements between locations to understand how you travel whether by walking, cycling, or driving
  • Interactive Timeline: Visualizes all your past activities on an interactive timeline with map and list views that show visit duration, transport method, and distance traveled

Photo Integration:

  • Connect your self-hosted Immich photo server to seamlessly display photos taken at specific locations right within Reitti's timeline. The interactive photo viewer lets you browse galleries for each place.

Data Import Options:

  • Multiple Formats Supported: Reitti can import existing location data from GPX, GeoJSON, and Google Takeout (JSON) backups
  • (Near) Real-time Updates: Automatically receive location info via mobile apps like OwnTracks, GPSLogger or our REST API

Customization:

  • Multi-geocoding Services: Configurable options to convert coordinates to human-readable addresses using providers like Nominatim
  • User Profiles: Customize individual display names, password management, and API token security under your own control

Self-hosting:

  • Reitti is designed to be deployed on your own infrastructure using Docker containers. We provide configuration templates to set up linked services like PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and Redis that keep all your location data private.

Reitti is still early in development but has already developed extensive capabilities. I'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions to tailor Reitti to meet the community's needs.

Hope this sparks some interest!

Daniel

Got it up and running, looks neat!

Is there a way to import old pictures from Immich? If I take new ones they do show up on Reitti, but none of the old ones are shown.

Thank you for testing Reitti. 🙏

It depends on two key requirements for Reitti:

  1. First, it finds all photos from Immich taken on the day you selected.
  2. Then, it filters these photos based on the selected map bounds, using the embedded EXIF geolocation data (where the photo was shot).

If the EXIF data does not contain geolocation information, we currently cannot display those photos because their placement on the map cannot be determined.

Could you please verify in Immich if the expected photo has its location in the metadata? If it is available there, then the issue might lie in how Reitti is parsing that specific data.

Thanks for the explanation! Seems to work correctly after all, pictures do show up when I change the date on timeline instead of just staring at current date, 👍 Had just not understood how to use Reitti properly.
