Dawarich is an application which provides detailed location history and statistics. The visualizations are particularly cool - there is a fog of war! There doesn’t seem to be a lifetime fog of war though, only for for a specified date range, which kind of sucks.
It can integrate with Immich to display photos taken at specific locations.
Setup with NixOS
Dawarich is configured through a docker compose file. The simplest way is to use compose2nix to generate a Nix config from the compose.
Commands
# Restart dawarich container
systemctl restart podman-compose-dawarich-root.target
# Restart dawarich app
systemctl restart podman-dawarich_app podman-dawarich_sidekiq
Dawarich + GpsLogger + tsdproxy
I use GpsLogger to send live location data to my Dawarich instance, originally just using http://servername:port as the URL. When I set up tsdproxy to put Dawarich on a subdomain dawarich.<magicdns>.ts.net and updated the GpsLogger URL to match, GpsLogger stopped being able to post. Not sure why, but reverting to the original servername:port fixed it.
