OwnTracks Recorder

Stores data in plain files without an external database, enabling efficient operation on low-end hardware like Raspberry Pi, as emphasized in the design philosophy.

Provides a REST API and WebSocket server for querying location data, including last positions, historical tracks, and GeoJSON, reducing the need for additional backend services.

Supports Lua scripts to modify behavior, add processing, or gateway data, offering flexibility for advanced use cases as documented in HOOKS.md.

Integrates with services like OpenCage and Google, caching results to minimize external API calls and enrich location data with addresses and time zones.
