It has taken a while, but v5.0.0 is finally here. This is the biggest release since the project began as Statistics for Strava.

A few months ago, Strava announced changes to their API program that affected a lot of developers.

In hindsight I'm really happy that Strava did what they did, Dreeve is now 100% self-hosted and no longer depends on Strava.

For anyone who never heard about Dreeve (or Statistics for Strava):

Dreeve is a self-hosted, open-source dashboard for your sports and fitness data

The biggest changes that v5.0.0 includes:

  • Full rebrand, moving away from Strava branding
  • Uploading raw FIT, TCX and GPX files (importing your activities from Strava is still fully supported)
  • A proper admin panel, moving away from YAML based config files

If you are upgrading from v4, be sure to check the migration guide: https://docs.dreeve.app/#/getting-started/migrating-from-v4

As always, thanks for your feedback and I'm looking forward to more feature requests! Stay fit, stay healthy 💪

Love this.. I am currently using endurain, two questions:

  • automatic import from Garmin? That would be lovely

  • differences with endurain for a single user?

  • We moved away from 3rd party vendor lock-ins. For the time being you need to manually upload your activity files. We are going to release separate containers to setup integrations though, for example dreeve-garmin-connector
  • Endurain aims to be a self-hosted alternative for Strava, Dreeve is just a "simple" stat-driven app that chews numbers and shows you some fancy charts :)

The garmin connector might reignite the self hosting game for me 🤣

I've just started using GarminDB to fetch .fit and .json files from my Garmin account.

Can I simply tell Dreeve to watch the directory where GarminDB dumps the files and it will pick them up?

Does Dreeve do something with the Garmin .json files too? Sleep data for example is in those kind of files, but since Dreeve has a Strava background I suspect it only deals with sports activities?

Yes, you can just configure your watch folder to be the one where you export your Garmin FIT files: https://docs.dreeve.app/#/importing/file-import

And indeed, Dreeve is a sports analytics tool. Sleep data is not included

You should think about sleep data as well, because it's an important metric for athletes as well, I always cross check my sleep data with my training performance (to find stupid excuses for the abysmal performances)

Yes definitely add a way to import from Garmin, separate is good too.

I don't care for a Strava alternative, but I do care for the numbers. But I don't use Strava, only Garmin, and manual import is not going to happen since I train daily :)

I've just stumbled across this post and it's serendipitous because I just finished setting up GarminDB in a Docker container. It's a Python CLI app you can use to download your Garmin stuff locally (which happens to be a bunch of FIT and JSON files).

You don't have to use Docker ofc, you can also use a venv/pip to set it up somewhere and automate the backup command in any way you want.

It's a happy coincidence because I was now wondering how to visualize the files. GarminDB also has some --import and --analyze options that parse the data into SQLite but they're a bit buggy. Then you can use Jupyter notebook templates to produce something you can look at, but Dreeve might also be interesting (especially if it can monitor the folder where GarminDB dumps the files in read-only mode).

Thank you, interesting piece of software .. will have to seriously evaluate my workflow and act one day....

Check my other reply, we have a "watch" folder functionality
