Any self-hosted option for real time location sharing?

Hi there, everyone. For various reasons, our family makes use of Life360. I'm wanting to move to either a linux or completely degoogled phone…

Dev of reitti here đź‘‹

Reitti allows sharing data like live location between users. If you use the owntracks app, you would even see all users, which share their location woth you, directly in the app.

Else you can see them in reitti directly with their latest known location.

Overview

Personal location tracking and analysis application that transforms GPS data into meaningful insights about movement patterns, visits, and significant places.

Do you know if it works well with GrapheneOS?

Does it use http or MQTT?

I was using Traccar and that worked well until moving to GOS and then background updates wouldn’t work.

I tried owntrack and nextcloud but never got it to work.

You can get data via HTTP into reitti. Registering reitti on a MQTT broker also works.

I am using the OwnTracks app on Graphene OS via http and it’s working well so far, but I only set it up very recently.

I installed with obtanium and it doesn’t need any play services, Graphene’s location service works fine.

I am using a different back end though, GeoPulse not Reitti. Still evaluating the different choices, I will probably try Reitti as well.
