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

I used Traccar before switching to FMD. It used a lot of battery for somewhat inaccurate results in my case (might be phone related).

the only change I had to make was to add the config file to the volumes list:

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:

Firefly

Nope. I found AB and saw that they had experimental support for SimpleFIN, which supports financial institutions in my country (USA), and it was cheaper than my old, non-selfhosted solution (Tiller). SimpleFIN provides a pretty simple API, so there’s no reason Firefly couldn’t support it as well (and there’s an issue for it).

I also really hate PHP, so the fact that Actual Budget is written in node.js is a plus.

Yeah, it’s not perfect, but it works well enough to get what I wanted: see unexpected expenses from my vast array of credit cards. I’ve caught fraudulent transactions my bank didn’t, so that’s nice.

I don’t actually do strict budgeting with it, I mostly just want to see generally where our money is being spent, and I prefer to keep those transactions as private as possible (well, outside of my banks selling my transaction data to data brokers, that is…).

How would the timed tasks be handled if they’re offline

It probably would work well with those as long as the startup time was quick (my containers come up almost instantly) and the initiating clients can handle a bit of latency. I didn’t notice any hiccups in my use at all.

Right. When a request comes in, Traefik, for one, will hold the connection until the service is back up then forward the request as usual. This works for UIs as well. You’ll get a temporary loading page then redirected to the requested UI when the service is up.

No, mostly because Google Search is just terrible. The app itself is great.

At least with Searx you can search multiple private search engines (your preference) at once. You can also selfhost it.

My point is you can make Dockerfiles do a lot of things

Have you tried beaver docking? I really like it. I just learned of it recently and do it everyday. Better than a lot of other docking.

Been working untouched for a long time but might be time to update. To that maintained one, thanks!
