Self-Hosting wger Workout Manager with Docker

What Is wger? wger (pronounced "veger") is an open-source fitness tracking application that covers workouts, nutrition logging, and body measurements. It comes with a library of 800+ exercises (synced from wger.de), meal planning with nutritional data, and a REST API for building custom frontends or integrations. Self-hosting means your workout data, body measurements, and dietary information stay private. Prerequisites A Linux server (Ubuntu 22.04+ recommended) Docker and Docker Compose installed ( guide ) 2 GB of RAM minimum (PostgreSQL + Redis + Celery workers) 10 GB of free disk space (grows with exercise images/videos) A domain name (optional, for remote access) Docker Compose Configuration wger requires several services: the application server, PostgreSQL, Redis, Nginx, and Celery workers for background tasks.
