So, what do you think of the Garmin intergration? I have had Fittrackee in my sights for a good while now, and the only thimg holding me back from trying it is that I donk know how painful (or painless) the activity upload/sync from my Garmin watch will be.

It works just fine! Setting it up was relatively easy, too.
I had a few snags, but I documented everything here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services:fittrackee
So, overall its mature enough for daily usage but:
- FitTrackee only support gpx based activities so your indoor swimming or indoor bike will not be imported
- Garmin link seems to be working only for one user, I didn't investigate, but its not clear how to sync more than one user. Which is weird since fittrackee itself is multi-user.
I hope the devs keep up the great work and those limitations will be removed.
Alright, so it can do some direct syncs via Garmin API, I didn't know that. Last time I checked, only manually uploading your gpx files was possible.
Neat, I'll definitely set this up. Dockerized, of course, my little server already has lot of services on it, got to keep things neatly separated. :)
I found way easier to setup via pip, but ofc YMMV. Note that Garmin integration is a separate container if you go that route.
