Comment on Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google Timeline

Dear OP,
I just spent some time setting up Reitti and I am very pleased with the results. Many thanks for all the work and great documentation.
I do have a few questions:
- You mention that it can take hours to days for Photon to setup. How do I know its done?
- The default external reverse geocoding is not doing anything for me, but there seems little to no info in the logs for me to try any remedy. Related to my previous comment, how would I know that photon is working correct?
- Is it possible to enjoy the map view in color in stead of the black and white?
Thanks for your time.

Cool, thanks for the feedback.
For: 1: There should be something about downloading in the Photon logs. You can check with
docker compose logs photon. I do not remember how long it took to download the index for Germany, but it was noticeable. It depends a lot on how you are connected to the internet and then how long it takes to extract the index.2: You should also see that in the log of Photon. If the default does not work reliably, you can create an account on Geoapify; it is free, and you get 3000 reverse geocode requests per day. I personally have Photon for DE and then the default service and additional Geoapify.
3: Yeah, I was also thinking about that. In the end, a per-user setting and then the overlay should be disabled, but it could take a while until I can get to it.
