Hey everyone!

I’m excited to introduce Reitti, a location tracking and analysis application designed to help you gain insights about your movement patterns and significant places—all while keeping your data private on your own server.

Core Capabilities:

  • Visit Tracking: Automatically recognizes and categorizes the places where you spend time, using customizable detection algorithms
  • Trip Analysis: Analyzes your movements between locations to understand how you travel whether by walking, cycling, or driving
  • Interactive Timeline: Visualizes all your past activities on an interactive timeline with map and list views that show visit duration, transport method, and distance traveled

Photo Integration:

  • Connect your self-hosted Immich photo server to seamlessly display photos taken at specific locations right within Reitti’s timeline. The interactive photo viewer lets you browse galleries for each place.

Data Import Options:

  • Multiple Formats Supported: Reitti can import existing location data from GPX, GeoJSON, and Google Takeout (JSON) backups
  • (Near) Real-time Updates: Automatically receive location info via mobile apps like OwnTracks, GPSLogger or our REST API

Customization:

  • Multi-geocoding Services: Configurable options to convert coordinates to human-readable addresses using providers like Nominatim
  • User Profiles: Customize individual display names, password management, and API token security under your own control

Self-hosting:

  • Reitti is designed to be deployed on your own infrastructure using Docker containers. We provide configuration templates to set up linked services like PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and Redis that keep all your location data private.

Reitti is still early in development but has already developed extensive capabilities. I’d love to hear your feedback and answer any questions to tailor Reitti to meet the community’s needs.

Hope this sparks some interest!

Daniel

    I managed to break our instance. I imported several years worth of google takeout location data, and now the “stay-detection-queue” is stalled.

      Congratulations 😆

      To help with that I would need some information:

      • does it show anything in the logs?
      • what do you mean by several years or how big was the Records.json?

      Thank you for testing 🙂

        It’s a 1gig json file that has about 10 years of data. I get multiple repeats of the rabbit timeout in the logs. The Job Status section tells me that it’s got just under 9 hours of processing remaining for just over 16,000 in the stay-detection-queue. The numbers change slightly, so something is happening, but it’s been going for over 12 hours now, and the time remaining is slowly going up, not down.

          Thanks for the information. I will try to recreate it locally. In my testing I used a 600MB file and this took maybe 2 hours to process on my server. It is one of these ryzen 7 5825U. Since Reitti tries to do these analysis on multiple cores we start it with 4 to 16 Threads when processing. But the stay detection breaks when doing it that way, so it is locking per user to handle that. If now one of them takes a long time the others will break eventually. They will get resheduled 3 times until rabbitmq gives up.

          On what type of system do you run it?

          I will add some switches so it is configurable how many threads are opened and add some log statements to print out the duration it took for a single step.

              Hmm, I had hoped you say something like a Raspberry PI :D

              But this should be enough to have it processed in a reasonable time. What I do not understand in the moment is, that the filesize should not affect it in any way. When importing it 100 Geopoints are bundled, send to RabbitMQ. From there we retrieve them, do some filtering and save them in the database. Then actually nothing happens anymore until the next processing run is triggered.

              But this than works with the PostGis DB and not with the file anymore. So the culprit should be there somewhere. I will try to insert some fake data into mine and see how long it takes if i double my location points.

                I was also trying to set up GPSLogger whilst it was crunching through the backlog, and I manually transferred a file from that app before I had autologging configured. Not sure if that could have done it?

                The times don’t overlap, as the takeout file is only up until 2023

                  Thanks for getting back to me. I can look into it. I don’t think it’s connected, but you never know.

                  The data goes the same way, first to RabbitMQ and then the database. So it shouldn’t matter, it’s just another message or a bunch of them in the queue.

                    Ok, so it may not be frozen. The numbers in the queue seem to imply it is, however, timelines and places are slowly filling out in my history. A couple of dates I had looked at previously were showing me tracklogs for the day, but not timeline information, and now, they’re showing timelines for the day
