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?

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

the only change I had to make was to add the config file to the volumes list:
compose.yml
Awesome, thanks. I’m going to give it a try. It seems like the best FOSS find my device type service available by far.
sorry what, it can keep a location history? how?

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