https://gitlab.com/Nulide/findmydeviceserver, a FOSS and self-hosted alternative to location history. Particularly useful for finding my device which has no Google services on it.
- I’m using Traccar for this.
  
  I used Traccar before switching to FMD. It used a lot of battery for somewhat inaccurate results in my case (might be phone related).
  
  I’m using OwnTracks on the phone. No complaints at all.
- I've been wanting to spin this up myself, but the fact that the Dev says his example docker-compose.yml is incomplete has stopped me in the past. Did you have to add anything to get it functional?
  
  the only change I had to make was to add the config file to the volumes list:
  
  compose.yml
  
  services: fmd-server: image: registry.gitlab.com/nulide/findmydeviceserver:v0.7.0 container_name: fmd-server volumes: - data:/data - ./fmd/data:/fmd/db/ - ./fmd/config/config.yml:/fmd/config.yml:ro restart: unless-stopped networks: - fmd_server # ports: # - 8080:8080 # legacy volumes: data: networks: fmd_server:
  
  Awesome, thanks. I'm going to give it a try. It seems like the best FOSS find my device type service available by far.
- sorry what, it can keep a location history? how?
  
  You need to install the client from F-Droid and it periodically polls your device for its location.
