I want to set up location sharing for my family/friends, but

  • without having a closed source app having access to my location/sensors all the time
  • be able to choose when I want to share

Any recommendations?

Edit for those who find this later: I ended up choosing Traccar suggested by @[email protected], but big thanks to everyone who brought some ideas to the table! I’ll leave my configs here.

My Docker Compose file

My traccar.xml

    I tried both MQTT and just the plain HTTP variant, and I couldn’t get either to work. I’ve fully settled on the latter you mentioned, Traccar. it’s pretty much what I’ve wanted: self-hosted, easy to set up, beautiful web interface. Thanks for the suggestions!
