# Project pack: Dawarich @ 2dc26c4

Facts about **Dawarich** for an AI following the [BespokeAI handover guide](https://handoff.bespokeai.software/guide/v4.md). Pinned to one version; never changes after publication.

> Dawarich is a self-hosted alternative to Google Timeline. It records your location history from your phone, imports data from Google Takeout and other apps, and shows it on a map with tracks, visited places, statistics and yearly digests. Everything stays on your server.

## Setup path (checked 2026-11-03)
- **Needs Docker.** Tell the person before any setup work; no light non-Docker route is documented upstream. Docker Desktop on Windows may need a computer restart and an admin-only Windows feature (virtualisation); say so and let the person decide.
- Verdict source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Freika/dawarich/HEAD/README.md
- You may be unable to download source archives or run commands in this session. The person downloads and runs things; if you cannot fetch something, give any changed file in full in chat with its path.

## Version and source
- Repository: https://github.com/Freika/dawarich
- Pinned commit: `2dc26c40dff1f2e4b6c7e22d78ab5a271c0e8957`. Use exactly this version.
- Zip the person can download in a browser: https://github.com/Freika/dawarich/archive/2dc26c40dff1f2e4b6c7e22d78ab5a271c0e8957.zip
- Fresh checkout (only if you have a shell and git): use the commands below in an empty folder. If this exact source is already checked out, keep your branch and use the development command; do not clone again or reset local changes.
- Official docs: https://dawarich.app/docs
- Licence: **AGPL-3.0-only**. Free to use and change. If other people use your changed version, including over a network (for example a website you host for them), you must offer them your source code under the same licence. Using it privately for yourself or your household has no extra obligations.

## Commands from the pinned source
- Developer commands (they may use Docker):

  ```sh
  git clone https://github.com/Freika/dawarich bespoke-dawarich
  cd bespoke-dawarich
  git checkout --detach 2dc26c40dff1f2e4b6c7e22d78ab5a271c0e8957
  # Prepare development requirements and local configuration first.
  bundle install
  npm install
  bin/rails db:setup
  bin/dev
  ```

- Separate trial of the current upstream release (not your changes; sample data and a separate data directory only):

  ```sh
  Follow the self-hosting guide at https://dawarich.app/docs/tutorials/self-hosting, which provides the docker-compose.yml file.
  ```
- Tools these commands use: Docker with PostGIS and Redis; Ruby 3.4 and Node 22 for development
- Develop: `bin/dev`
- Test: `bundle exec rspec`
- Check/lint: `bundle exec rubocop`
- Stack: ruby, javascript (Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, Leaflet, Sidekiq). Difficulty for a non-developer with an AI: **moderate**. A conventional Rails app with background jobs. Most personal use is configuration and imports; features follow the usual Rails structure.
- The project's own AI instructions, in the repository: `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`.
Personal data: **yes**. Stored in: A Postgres database with PostGIS plus a storage volume for imports. Secrets are entered by the person, never in chat.
