title: Run OwnTracks under Docker
recipe: OwnTracks
---
# OwnTracks
[OwnTracks](https://owntracks.org/) allows you to keep track of your own location. You can build your private location diary or share it with your family and friends. OwnTracks is open-source and uses open protocols for communication so you can be sure your data stays secure and private.
![OwnTracks Screenshot](../images/owntracks.png){ loading=lazy }
Using a smartphone app, OwnTracks allows you to collect and analyse your own location data **without** sharing this data with a cloud provider (_i.e. Apple, Google_). Potential use cases are:
* Sharing family locations without relying on Apple Find-My-friends
* Performing automated actions in [HomeAssistant](/recipes/homeassistant/) when you arrive/leave home
## {{ page.meta.recipe }} Requirements
--8<-- "recipe-standard-ingredients.md"
## Preparation
### Setup data locations
We'll need a directory so store OwnTracks' data , so create ```/var/data/owntracks```:
```bash
mkdir /var/data/owntracks
```
### Prepare {{ page.meta.recipe }} environment
Create owntracks.env, and populate with the following variables
```bash
OTR_USER=recorder
OTR_PASS=yourpassword
OTR_HOST=owntracks.example.com
```
### {{ page.meta.recipe }} Docker Swarm config
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like the example below:
--8<-- "premix-cta.md"
```yaml
version: "3.0"
services:
owntracks-app:
image: funkypenguin/owntracks
env_file : /var/data/config/owntracks/owntracks.env
volumes:
- /var/data/owntracks:/owntracks
networks:
- internal
- traefik_public
ports:
- 1883:1883
- 8883:8883
- 8083:8083
deploy:
labels:
# traefik common
- traefik.enable=true
- traefik.docker.network=traefik_public
# traefikv1
- traefik.frontend.rule=Host:owntracks-app.example.com
- traefik.port=8083
# traefikv2
- "traefik.http.routers.owntracks.rule=Host(`owntracks-app.example.com`)"
- "traefik.http.services.owntracks.loadbalancer.server.port=8083"
- "traefik.enable=true"
# Remove if you wish to access the URL directly
- "traefik.http.routers.owntracks.middlewares=forward-auth@file"
networks:
traefik_public:
external: true
internal:
driver: overlay
ipam:
config:
- subnet: 172.16.15.0/24
```

## Serving
### Launch OwnTracks stack
Launch the OwnTracks stack by running ```docker stack deploy owntracks -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>```
Log into your new instance at https://**YOUR-FQDN**, with user "root" and the password you specified in gitlab.env.
[^1]: If you wanted to expose the Owntracks UI directly, you could remove the traefik-forward-auth from the design.
[^2]: I'm using my own image rather than owntracks/recorderd, because of a [potentially swarm-breaking bug](https://github.com/owntracks/recorderd/issues/14) I found in the official container. If this gets resolved (_or if I was mistaken_) I'll update the recipe accordingly.
[^3]: By default, you'll get a fully accessible, unprotected MQTT broker. This may not be suitable for public exposure, so you'll want to look into securing mosquitto with TLS and ACLs.
