-
-* Wger: The Self-Hosted Workout Manager
-[[https://wger.de][Wger Workout Manager]] is a fitness tracking tool for
-those who enjoy self-hosting their data. You can also register an
-account on their main website if you'd prefer to try without
-self-hosting.
-
-** Features
-I didn't see a full listing of features anywhere, so I compiled this
-list of my own after installing wger:
-
-1. Dashboard
-
- - Dashboard view of Workout Schedule, Nutrition Plan, Weight Graph, &
- last 5 Weight Logs
-
-2. Training
-
- - Workout Log
- - Workout Schedule
- - Calendar (shows weight logs and Bad/Neutral/Good days)
- - Gallery (shows images you upload)
- - Workout templates
- - Public templates
- - Exercises
-
-3. Nutrition
-
- - Nutrition plans
- - BMI calculator
- - Daily calories calculator
- - Ingredient overview
-
-4. Body Weight
-
- - Weight overview
-
-** Documentation
-In order to self-host wger, I opted to use the Docker version of the
-application. You can read the README within the
-[[https://github.com/wger-project/docker][wger-project/docker]] project
-on GitHub for information and installation instructions.
-
-** Installation
-To start the installation, I created a folder for wger and started
-creating the three necessary files:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-mkdir ~/wger && mkdir ~/wger/config
-touch ~/wger/docker-compose.yml && \
-touch ~/wger/config/prod.env && \
-touch ~/wger/config/nginx.conf
-#+end_src
-
-Once you have the folders and files created, you will need to copy the
-contents of the =docker-compose.yml=, =prod.env=, and =nginx.conf= from
-the GitHub link above.
-
-A few notes to explain the changes I made to the default files:
-
-- I updated the =ALLOW_REGISTRAION= variable in =prod.env= to =False=
- after I created an account via my LAN connection, *before** I connected
- this app to a publicly-available domain.
-- I uncommented and updated =CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS= to be equal to the
- public version of this app: =https://wger.example.com=.
-- I updated the port within =docker-compose.yml=, within the =nginx=
- block. The port I updated this to will be reflected in my nginx
- configuration file on the server (NOT the wger nginx.conf file).
-
-** Deploy
-Once all files are created and modified to your needs, simply start the
-container.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-docker-compose up -d
-#+end_src
-
-You can now visit the website on your LAN by going to
-=localhost:YOUR_PORT= or by the server's IP, if you're not on the same
-machine that is running the container.
-
-If you wish to connect this app to a public domain name, you'll need to
-point an =A= DNS record from the domain to your server's public IP.
-You'll then need to create a configuration file for whichever web server
-or reverse proxy you're using.
-
-Wger's README suggests the following reverse proxy configuration for
-Nginx:
-
-#+begin_src conf
-upstream wger {
- # This port should match the port in the `nginx` block of docker-compose.yml
- # If the container is running on this same machine, replace this with
- # server 127.0.0.1:8080
- server 123.456.789.0:8080;
-}
-
-server {
- listen 80;
- listen [::]:443 ssl;
- listen 443 ssl;
-
- location / {
- proxy_pass http://wger;
- proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
- proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
- proxy_redirect off;
- }
-
- server_name my.domain.example.com;
-
- ssl_certificate /path/to/https/certificate.crt;
- ssl_certificate_key /path/to/https/certificate.key;
-}
-#+end_src
-
-* Thoughts on Wger
-I'm still playing around with the app itself, but it seems to be a solid
-all-around workout manager, weight log, and food log.
-
-I like that the weight log graph is fluid and updates quickly. You can
-also import or export data in CSV format if you'd like to move your data
-elsewhere.
-
-The workout manager is slightly odd, as it requires you to enter sets
-and reps for each exercise when you enter it into the plan. Then, when
-you add a log entry for performing a workout, you then add what you
-actually performed, in terms of reps and weight.
-
-I haven't tried the food log yet and I likely will not, at least for a
-while. I have no need for a food log or calorie tracker at the moment.
