Detailed Introduction
Dawarich is a self-hosted web app designed to replace Google Timeline (Google Location History). It lets you track your location, view history on an interactive map (heatmap, points, lines, fog of war), create trips, share live location with family, and integrate with Immich or Photoprism for geotagged photos. Supports imports from Google Takeout, OwnTracks, GPX, GeoJSON, Strava, and EXIF data. Provides statistics like visited countries, total distance, and days per country. Offers areas and visits detection (beta). Runs via Docker with easy setup.
Troubleshooting & FAQ (2)
TroubleshootingWhy does the Timeline Calendar not show green days for activities added after updating to version 1.7.0?
Update to version 1.7.11 where this bug is fixed. The issue caused the timeline calendar to use UTC time instead of local time, leading to missing green indicators for new points. If updating immediately isn't possible, check your timezone settings as a temporary workaround.
TroubleshootingWhy do I get 'KeyError in Map::Maplibre#index' and 'JWT_SECRET_KEY not found' after upgrading to Maplibre 1.7.1?
The JWT_SECRET_KEY environment variable is missing. Starting from v1.7.0, a JWT secret is required. Set it in your Docker environment: add -e JWT_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key or include environment: JWT_SECRET_KEY: your_secret_key in docker-compose. Use a secure random string (e.g., openssl rand -hex 32). Restart the container after setting the variable.
