Comment on Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google Timeline
Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 day agoOh interesting. I’ve just read through that link, and I was assuming that something similar to the “external only” option would have been the only way it worked. More specifically, I thought it’d just store a list of historical points and display those on an OSM overlay. But it seems like even “external only” is much more involved than that.
What happens with self-hosted Photon if you specify a country, but then also visit another country? (I assume in hybrid mode it’s as simple as "use Photon in your country, use Nominatim otherwise?)
But yeah, definitely sounds like a Pi is probably not gonna cut it. I’ll have to see if my Synology can do it, or if the weird OS restrictions Synology imposes prevent it.

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:

Is that true even if you’re not in hybrid mode?

Photon Only: you have only photon configured and under
Settings > Gecoding
you deleted or disable every available service. Hybrid Mode: Photon is configured and underSettings > 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 underSettings > 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.

Ah ok thanks. This is what I was wondering.
Two follow-ups:
Can you specify multiple
COUNTRY_CODE
s? (and if so, is the methodor
or something else?)
And is this something that can seemlessly be retroactively changed? For example, if I set
COUNTRY_CODE=au
and it works fine for Australia, but then I move to NZ, can I add (assuming the answer to my first question is yes) or change toCOUNTRY_CODE=nz
and have all the NZ locations work on the already-recorded data, even if I made that change to my configuration after I had been in NZ for a few months?
