I looked at the docker image i am using in the docker-compose file and this only supports having a single country code. The actual reason can be found here: https://github.com/rtuszik/photon-docker/blob/3b63df49fbc0a77cafcbd6e6be2b8857c12b9143/start-photon.sh#L341C5-L342C7

It is probably possible if you deploy photon on its own and then import the data somehow. But that is to much hassle for me, i think and hope that most of the use case is handled by the current solution. At least for most of the potential users. But I get the point if someone is traveling a lot between countries.

If there is enough demand I could maybe try to create a PR for the Docker image to handle multiple country codes.

I think this is not exposed when running the Docker container. But let me check later when i have time what happens if i put another country in that variable

Good question, afaik you can not enter multiple countries to Photon. I was hoping it would be possible but everything i saw was it is either one country or the whole world. But maybe you can have a look here: https://github.com/komoot/photon That is the service we are using.

Maybe the wording is confusing in the Readme. Reitti will try to fetch the data from a configured photon instance first, if this does not return anything and you have Geocoding services configured, it will try them. There is actually no switch for hybrid mode or only local. It depends on what is configured.

Photon Only: you have only photon configured and under Settings > Gecoding you deleted or disable every available service. Hybrid Mode: Photon is configured and under Settings > Geocoding there are Services available. That es is the one I use. Having Photon with the data for Germany and all the rest is handled by Geoapify.com.

External Only: You dropped Photon from the docker-compose file and only rely on services under Settings > Geocoding

If you do not configure anything, then Reitti will skip Geocoding and only display Unknown Place.

I will update the Readme to make that clear.

Not really, I stopped using IOS a year ago because of exactly this reason. Had a lot of problems syncing files because of the power saving. I understand why IOS is doing it and for a normal user I think it is the way to go. But anything beyond that, it only hinders the experience you get out of apps. Maybe someone here as any experience with an app which works reliably.

Thank you.

At the moment i do not have any plans of providing a way of running it without docker. Mainly because of time to support that.

Since it is a Spring-Boot-Application it would be possible to create a jar file which you can execute or deploy as a service with systemd. But then you have to make sure all prerequisites are also running. That is the one thing I like about docker and especially docker compose.

But short answer: Yes, it is possible but you are on your own at the moment. I would help and maybe we can add a section to the readme how to do it.

I do not think it is that complicated. The front-end sends a request to the back-end with the current selected day. This triggers a search in Immich returning all photos taken on that specific day. This is returned to the front-end and this than does the heavy lifting like filtering them to the current map bounds, displaying them on the map at a specific location. We proxy all request from the front-end through our server because of CORS issues and I did tried to avoid having to configure Immich besides creating a token for the API.

One would need to either create a specific IntegrationService like ImmichIntegrationService and then figure out a way how the user can configure that. The easiest would be that we just then call all available ones even if I do not see the use case of having multiple Photo-Servers. But it would make the code in Reitti cleaner and would not hurt if we do not configure 20 simultaneous servers :D

If you use Photon and only have your main country available, it will fallback to the configured external Geo-coding-services since Photon will not return a result then. So the order of execution is:

• first try Photon
• if it does not return anything, try to call one or all of the available Geo coding services.

Never heard of PhotoStructure but if they provide an API where i can search assets for a day and it also returns the exif data especially latitutde and longitude it should be pretty straight forward to implement. Feel free to add a feature request when you got time and I will have a look at it :)

Let me know how it works out for you. If you have the gpx files, you can simply import them inside the settings menu.

Thanks otter, I tried to have a historical look. Like going to the past and revive some memories. Hope it worked out. I am actually pretty happy with it.

Hello @[email protected], i usually use GPSLogger for Android to track my location during the day and this periodically sends the data to reitti whenever i am back at home. I have no idea if you switch off location services what happens on the GPSLogger side of the chain. If it still be able to access GPS I see no problem, if not than this sadly will break the usecase for reitti.

It relies on a consistent GPS tracking data to be able to do its thing
