I wrote a blog post on selfhostesd software to be more organzed - Lemmy.World

In this post I share some my personal journey with some selfhostesd open source apps and how they helped me. Maybey you will find some stuff in there that helps you as well.

Nice article, and a fresh practical take on FOSS.

FMD is great, I use it frequently.

It does look great! Looks like the perfect FOSS alternative for Cerberus Anti-Theft.

But is Cloudflare required to use FMD?

So I just use it by authorizing my wife a and kids to use fmd commands, which means I just tell my wife to send me a text with “fmd ring” and it will start ringing until I find and stop it.

Also, it will message my wife and kids if the phone gets below 5%

it is not, OP states in their blog that they use a cloudflare reverse proxy (probably a cloudflare tunnel) to secure the fmd instance, but you can also just not expose it to the web and use a VPN to access it on your home network :)
