wanderer is a self-hosted trail database for storing and organizing your outdoor adventures. You can upload recorded GPS tracks or create new routes, add metadata and build an easily searchable catalogue of your hikes, rides and walks.

Core features include managing trails, planning new routes, extensive map integration and visualization, sharing trails with others and exploring theirs, advanced filtering and search, and custom lists to organize trails further. The project builds on PocketBase, SvelteKit and Meilisearch, according to its topics. The recommended installation uses Docker Compose, with a setup script that downloads the compose file and fills in freshly generated secrets.

wanderer is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and runs on your own server, keeping location data out of commercial fitness platforms. It suits hikers, cyclists and trail enthusiasts who want a private home for their GPS recordings.
