Your favorite lesser known docker container?

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’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:

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.

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).

@mbirth@lemmy.ml

I’m using OwnTracks on the phone. No complaints at all.

You need to install the client from F-Droid and it periodically polls your device for its location.
