Shimitar@downonthestreet.euI’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).

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

I’ve just started using GarminDB to fetch
.fitand.jsonfiles 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
.jsonfiles 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?statisticsforstrava@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Yes, you can just configure your watch folder to be the one where you export your Garmin FIT files: docs.dreeve.app/#/importing/file-import
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.
