What is it?

wanderer is a self-hosted trail database for people who record GPS tracks from hikes, bike rides and other outdoor activities. You can upload recorded tracks or create new routes, attach metadata to each one, and build a catalogue that is easy to search and filter.

The app combines trail management with route planning and map visualization. Trails can be shared with other users, who can explore each other's collections, and custom lists let you group trails beyond the built-in filters. Search is handled by Meilisearch, and the stack is built on PocketBase and SvelteKit.

The recommended install is Docker Compose, using a setup script that generates fresh secrets. Bare-metal installation is also documented.
