What Wavelog actually does

Wavelog is a web-based logging application designed for radio amateurs to record their contacts, known as QSOs. It provides browser-based access to detailed logs, geographical maps, and operational statistics. Built with PHP and distributed under the MIT licence, the project is actively maintained.

Best fit: Radio amateurs looking for a self-hosted, browser-accessible alternative to traditional desktop logging software for tracking contacts and statistics.

Worth knowing: You will need to manage your own backups and ensure proper network configuration if you plan to access your logs remotely. As a niche tool, it may lack integrations with certain hardware or less common logging formats.

Deployment notes

Deployment typically involves running a Docker container which will require persistent storage for your database and log files. You will also usually need to place the application behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
