µlogger is a GPS logger for Android devices that can track your position and save it to a file. It's easy to install and use, and can be a useful tool for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, or running. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install µlogger on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the dependencies required by µlogger. We'll use pkg to install the necessary packages:
sudo pkg install -y python3 py37-sqlite3 py37-flask py37-flask-restful
Next, we need to clone the µlogger repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/bfabiszewski/ulogger-server.git
Now that we have µlogger installed, we need to configure it. Navigate to the cloned repository directory and copy the config.example.py file to config.py:
cd ulogger-server
cp config.example.py config.py
Open the config.py file in a text editor and modify the settings as necessary. You'll want to change the DATABASE_NAME and SECRET_KEY variables to something unique, and you can also adjust other settings like the server port and GPS accuracy.
Finally, we can run µlogger by executing the following command:
python3 app.py
This will start a Flask server running on port 5000 by default. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<your-server-ip>:5000/.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install and configure µlogger on FreeBSD Latest. It's a great tool for tracking GPS data and can be a useful companion on your outdoor adventures. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment below.
