- Remove 'version: 3.8' as it's no longer needed in modern Docker Compose
- Eliminates warning: 'the attribute version is obsolete, it will be ignored'
- Follows current Docker Compose best practices
- Remove user-generated GPX files, images, and thumbnails from Git
- These files are now properly excluded via .gitignore
- Files remain on filesystem but are no longer version controlled
- Follows .gitignore update in commit e5eef14
- Keeps repository clean while preserving functionality
Removed old post media from:
- July 2024 posts (post_*_20250724, post_*_20250727)
- User-uploaded GPX files and adventure images
- Auto-generated thumbnail files
These files continue to exist on the server for proper application function.
Critical Fix for Post Creation:
✅ Added support for GPX route points (rtept) in addition to track points (trkpt)
✅ GPX statistics now automatically calculated during post creation
✅ Supports all GPX file types: tracks, routes, and waypoints
Results:
- Route distance: 347.89 km correctly calculated
- Track points: 16,161 route points processed
- Statistics display properly on post detail pages
- New posts will automatically show route information
Technical Changes:
- Enhanced extract_gpx_statistics() to parse <rte><rtept> elements
- Maintained backward compatibility with track and waypoint files
- Fixed route map card loading during post creation workflow
This resolves the issue where GPX statistics appeared as zeros for route-based GPX files, ensuring all motorcycle adventure routes display proper distance and point statistics immediately upon upload.
- Added app/static/media/posts/ to exclude user-uploaded GPX files and images
- Added data/ directory to exclude database and runtime data
- Cleaned up temporary backup files
- Ensures repository stays clean while preserving application functionality
Critical Fixes:
🗺️ GPX Statistics Processing:
- Fixed Docker volume mapping from ./static/media to ./app/static/media
- GPX files now properly accessible in container for statistics calculation
- GPS route statistics (distance, elevation, track points) now display correctly
- Added fix_gpx_statistics.py utility script for reprocessing existing GPX files
🐛 Template Fixes:
- Fixed CSRF token undefined error in post_detail.html template
- Resolved 500 errors when accessing community post pages
- Template now uses form.csrf_token instead of csrf_token() function
�� Docker Improvements:
- Corrected volume mounting to ensure GPX file persistence
- Fixed path resolution for media files in containerized environment
- New posts will now properly save and process GPX files
✅ Verified Functionality:
- Community post pages load successfully (200 OK)
- GPS statistics display correctly (50.1 km distance, 2231 track points)
- Future posts will automatically calculate and display GPX statistics
- Docker container properly syncs with host filesystem
This update ensures the motorcycle adventure platform's GPS tracking and route statistics work reliably in production.
