Installing μlogger on Windows 11

μlogger is a lightweight mobile client-server for collecting GPS traces, gsm cell identifiers, and WiFi SSIDs. It allows you to record GPS tracks, cell tower locations, and Wi-Fi access points, and either upload the data to a server or store it locally for offline use.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing μlogger on Windows 11.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, we need to ensure that our system meets the following requirements:

• Windows 11
• Git Bash (Download from here)

Installation Steps

1. Open Git Bash.
2. Navigate to the directory where you want to install μlogger by typing cd <directory path>.
3. Clone the μlogger repository by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/bfabiszewski/ulogger-server.git
   

4. Navigate to the ulogger-server directory by running the following command:

   cd ulogger-server
   

5. Install the required Python modules by running the following command:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

6. Start the server by running the following command:

   python3 ulogger-server.py
   

Congratulations! You have successfully installed μlogger on Windows 11.

Usage

To use μlogger, you need to configure the mobile client to send GPS coordinates and WiFi SSIDs to the server at the IP address of your computer. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Install μlogger on your mobile device from Google Play or F-Droid.
2. Open μlogger and tap the settings button.
3. Tap "Server settings."
4. Enter the IP address of your computer running μlogger server.
5. Enter a name for your device.
6. Choose a tracking interval (how often the GPS coordinates are sent to the server).
7. Tap "Done."

You can now use μlogger to log your GPS traces, WiFi access points, and cell tower locations, and either upload the data to the server or store it locally for offline use.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
