OIDC and KML support release

So, you want to configure your OIDC provider. If not — skip to the actual changelog. You’re going to need to provide at least 4 environment variables: OIDC_CLIENT_ID, OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET, OIDC_ISSUER, and OIDC_REDIRECT_URI. Then, if you want to rename the provider from “OpenID Connect” to something else (e.g. “Authentik”), set OIDC_PROVIDER_NAME variable as well. If you want to disable email/password registration and allow only OIDC login, set ALLOW_EMAIL_PASSWORD_REGISTRATION to false. After just 7 brand new environment variables, you’ll never have to deal with passwords in Dawarich again!

Jokes aside, even though I’m not a fan of bloating the environment with too many variables, this is a nice addition and it will be reused in the cloud version of Dawarich as well. Thanks for waiting more than a year for this feature!

To configure your OIDC provider, set the following environment variables:

OIDC_CLIENT_ID=client_id_example
OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=client_secret_example
OIDC_ISSUER=https://authentik.yourdomain.com/application/o/dawarich/
OIDC_REDIRECT_URI=https://your-dawarich-url.com/users/auth/openid_connect/callback
OIDC_AUTO_REGISTER=true # optional, default is false
OIDC_PROVIDER_NAME=YourProviderName # optional, default is OpenID Connect
ALLOW_EMAIL_PASSWORD_REGISTRATION=false # optional, default is true

Added

  • Support for KML file uploads. #350
  • Added a commented line in the docker-compose.yml file to use an alternative PostGIS image for ARM architecture.
  • User can now create a place directly from the map and add tags and notes to it. If reverse geocoding is enabled, list of nearby places will be shown as suggestions.
  • User can create and manage tags for places.
  • Visits for manually created places are being suggested automatically, just like for areas.
  • User can enable or disable places layers on the map to show/hide all or just some of their visited places based on tags.
  • User can define privacy zones around places with specific tags to hide map data within a certain radius.
  • If user has a place tagged with a tag named “Home” (case insensitive), and this place doesn’t have a privacy zone defined, this place will be used as home location for days with no tracked data. #1659 #1575
