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 👋

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.

I’ve been following reitti for some time. Happily surprised to see you on Lemmy :)

Didn’t knew it allowed live location sharing, thanks for the info.

I try to be active on both. Reddit has the reach, but I like the vibe of this community on Lemmy. It is so much calmer and friendlier.

Over the last year, the community came up with some awesome ideas I incorporated into Reitti. It is easy to miss some of them. I try to add as much documentation as possible, but it is, on one side, hard to anticipate how users search for features and, on the other, not to miss some of them over time. Maybe it is a good idea to take some time and add all missing stuff since I am wrapping up the 5.0 release.

If I remember correctly, data sharing came as a suggestion on my first post here on Lemmy. Over the last year, I refined that, and now users on the same instance can share their data. You are even able to connect to users on other instances of Reitti and finally share your data via magic links.

I am really thankful for all the support Reitti gets, and the ideas of our users make a difference in how it is coming along.
