A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

https://gitlab.com/Nulide/findmydeviceserver, a FOSS and self-hosted alternative to location history. Particularly useful for finding my device which has no Google services on it.

I’m using Traccar for this.

I used Traccar before switching to FMD. It used a lot of battery for somewhat inaccurate results in my case (might be phone related).

I’m using OwnTracks on the phone. No complaints at all.

sorry what, it can keep a location history? how?

[–] bluelion 4 points 2 weeks ago

You need to install the client from F-Droid and it periodically polls your device for its location.

I've been wanting to spin this up myself, but the fact that the Dev says his example docker-compose.yml is incomplete has stopped me in the past. Did you have to add anything to get it functional?

[–] bluelion 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

the only change I had to make was to add the config file to the volumes list:

compose.yml

services:
  fmd-server:
    image: registry.gitlab.com/nulide/findmydeviceserver:v0.7.0
    container_name: fmd-server
    volumes:
      - data:/data
      - ./fmd/data:/fmd/db/
      - ./fmd/config/config.yml:/fmd/config.yml:ro
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - fmd_server
#    ports:
#      - 8080:8080

# legacy
volumes:
  data:

networks:
  fmd_server:

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to give it a try. It seems like the best FOSS find my device type service available by far.
