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’m trying this out right now. I’ve been using dawarch but it still has some ironing out to do.

FYI, the wget command pulled the github web page HTML where the file is hosted instead of the file itself. Weird. Easy fix but I’m guessing that’s a GitHub issue.

I fixed the link and it should be resolved in a couple of minutes. I used the wrong one and never tested that command.

Thank you for coming back with that. That really helps :)

No problem. By the way, this is a HUGE improvement over dawarich IMO. On my system, it just works extremely smoothly and connecting it with other services worked seamlessly.

I’m now using OwnTracks on mobile, and it was easy to connect to Immich and see my photos on the timeline. This is great! Thanks for sharing it.

I am happy to hear that.
