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…

I use Home Assistant for this. It works very well and the data is all local. It’s probably a bit heavy if you don’t use the other parts of home assistant though.

yep.

Sure it’s not as good as a FOSS service but it has proven to be trustworthy, and it’s something a lot of us already run so why add an extra service for a function we already have.

Sorry, misworded that, I meant it isn’t as good as a dedicated self hosted FOSS tracking service. meaning HA has access to my location data but i’ve also put lots of third party addons and integrations into HA that have to be trusted with access to that information too.

A dedicated service would be a bit easier for peace of mind as it would be isolated.
