Btw, for workout tracking, I recommend this service: https://github.com/jovandeginste/workout-tracker.
Self-hosted, private, you can see the heatmap, and you can automatically upload new workouts.
I tried the windows binary to see how it works, and I’m pretty impressed. It imported my Garmin fit files no problem. The heatmap works great!
I’m not sure if I’ll continue to use it or not since it’s extra work. But I will keep an eye on the project to see what new features it adds. If they put in metrics like power output, then it may sway me to take advantage of the system.
That’s great! Idk if there’s a way to automatically sync the garmin with it, but I use Fitotracker, and app on my smartphone, and it works great! If you dont feel like selfhosting your own instance you can use mine, workouts.estebiu.com. But again, don’t trust strangers on the internet.
I’m sure I’ll be looking for self-hosted solutions for fitness tracking once my Garmin devices finally die, but until then, I guess I’ll use what I’ve paid for. On the upside, I am familiar with third-party bike computers that essentially spit out GPX files, so I’m already familiar with the whole process for when the time comes.

That looks amazing. Especially the heatmap, which I have to do manually right now.
I’m going to try that out some time this week 😀
So, did you?
Unfortunately, not yet! I switched over my computer’s OS to Linux, so that’s been a bit of a learning curve.
Hopefully, soon, though!
Out of curiosity, are you self-hosting in docker? Or are you running one of their Windows/Linux binaries? I see that they offer a few options.
Docker! Everything is docker compose on my system. If I want to move the containers, I copy the directory on the new machine, and ta-da! Its done
