- Cost
- $0 / forever (Open Source)
- License
- AGPL-3.0
- Hosting Model
- Self-host (your server)
- Platforms
- webself-hosteddocker to self-host
- Installation
- Docker Compose
- Operational Setup
- A non-expert must run a multi-container service with persistent storage, secrets, a domain/TLS, backups, and any required map-provider configuration before the route planner is reliably available away from home.
- Where Your Data Lives
- Routes, lists, user records, and activity metadata live in the deployment's application database; imported GPX files, photos, and generated assets live in persistent Docker volumes, and routes remain exportable as GPX. Map tiles and routing data come from the configured external or self-hosted map services.
- The Catch / Trade-off
- Wanderer gives ownership of routes, but requires a server and does not match Komoot's mobile navigation polish, community recommendations, worldwide route intelligence, or automatic map updates.
