LiftTrace is a self-hosted weightlifting tracker (Docker + Android, AGPL-3.0). rc.5 is the next public roll-up, bundling everything since the rc.4 release.

What’s new

Scheduled automatic backups. Settings → Backup → Schedule lets you pick a time + frequency (daily / weekly). Server installs get an admin UI with optional ENV lock for managed deployments; the Android app does the same for offline-only users, writing scheduled backups to device storage or the share sheet.

Multi-architecture Docker image. The public image at ghcr.io/traceapps/lifttrace now ships both amd64 and arm64 builds, so Raspberry Pi 4 / 5 and other ARM self-hosters can docker compose up -d without building from source.

Default session length raised. From 30 days to 1 year so PWA users stop getting signed out every month. Admins can still set their own session length under Settings → User Management → Session Length.

Better biometric failure path on Android. When a stored auth token has expired, biometric sign-in now surfaces a clear “Session Expired” prompt instead of silently bouncing back to the Login screen with no explanation.

Fixes

• INSECURE_COOKIES is now called out inline in the example docker-compose.yml with a comment explaining the failure mode (every request 401s after a successful login because the browser drops the Secure cookie over plain HTTP); README troubleshooting entry expanded with the exact Firefox console message that confirms the diagnosis (#4)
• Sync pulls no longer clobber local pending edits. An incoming server pull respects in-flight local changes instead of overwriting them with older data.
• Sync now clears local auth state on a 401 response so the user gets prompted to sign in again, instead of the app looping silently on every subsequent request.

Install / upgrade

• Docker: pull the new image and restart your stack (see the README for compose snippets)
• Android: signed APK on the release page
• Full CHANGELOG: main repo
