I want to set up location sharing for my family/friends, but
without having a closed source app having access to my location/sensors all the time
be able to choose when I want to share
Any recommendations?
Edit for those who find this later: I ended up choosing Traccar suggested by @mbirth@lemmy.ml, but big thanks to everyone who brought some ideas to the table! I’ll leave my configs here.
