In some situations it would be nice to continuously send a smartphone's location to other family members.
What I am looking for is:
Free software
Self hosted
Only transmitting when actively turned on by the user, this must not be spyware
What can you recommend?

@ckeen @esopriester Traccar. It’s meant for fleet management, but you can use it to share your location with friends as well. :3
@NikTheDusky @ckeen @esopriester +1 for #Traccar.
We use it since... nearly a decade I assume to monitor our cars (equipped with a cheapo Android) and ... share our positions to each other 😁
Runs great even on a #Raspberry at home (for about 4 years) but currently on a 1€/mo VPS (also over 2 years now).
@ckeen Ich meine, es gab da mal ne App für Nextcloud?? 🤔
Weiß nur nich, wie die hieß.
@ckeen I haven't tested it yet, but I'm currently looking into OwnTracks https://owntracks.org/booklet/ because I need something like that too
@ckeen There is https://github.com/owntracks
@ckeen Also, if you have HomeAssistant, there is a plugin that does it all for you :-)
