Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I've tried it in iOS, and spent a lot of time fiddling with the settings, but for the life of me I can't get a decent resolution from it. I get very distant points and I was no able to improve it, so I gave up :(
I played with it forever ago, but from memory, that is most likely due to the way it is designed to conserve battery. The app waits for significant location update notifications from the OS and then sends the updated location to the tracking server. It doesn’t (or I should say it didn’t as I don’t know about now) actively poll the location on fixed intervals.
I took have set up and run Owntracks in the past and found it lacking. I can't remember why, but I do remember thinking it was a bit shit
I’ve used it for 5 years on iOS with zero issues at all. Set it to ‘Move’ and you will get great resolution.
