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

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.
Feren OS, a linux distro focused in customization. Started as a Linux Mint derivative, is now based on Ubuntu and/or Debian (I’m not really sure)
Before anything, you’ll want to create a folder for the unix socket: mkdir /var/run/ytproxy
and chown it to your reverse proxy’s user and group.
The Docker files:

To configure the reverse proxy (I use nginx), you can use Piped’s recommended files with your domains. The linked repo also contains a template for the required config.properties
.
Let me know if you run into issues, I’ll be glad to help 🙂
I use a private Piped instance
We all have our own opinions :)
Can you give more details about mesh hubs? A quick search only returns stuff related to wifi.
None of those work on Android, which is where I’ll probably be the most active.
I’ve seen weechat recommended elsewhere too, I’ll probably use it as desktop client.
The Lounge is how I got into IRC and it’s very good! However, the web UI isn’t that great on mobile, which led me to check out Android IRC apps and bouncers to sync everything across clients.
I used Traccar before switching to FMD. It used a lot of battery for somewhat inaccurate results in my case (might be phone related).
