I’ve been following reitti for some time. Happily surprised to see you on Lemmy :)
Didn’t knew it allowed live location sharing, thanks for the info.
Comment on Any self-hosted option for real time location sharing?

Dev of reitti here 👋
Reitti allows sharing data like live location between users. If you use the owntracks app, you would even see all users, which share their location woth you, directly in the app.
Else you can see them in reitti directly with their latest known location.

I try to be active on both. Reddit has the reach, but I like the vibe of this community on Lemmy. It is so much calmer and friendlier.
Over the last year, the community came up with some awesome ideas I incorporated into Reitti. It is easy to miss some of them. I try to add as much documentation as possible, but it is, on one side, hard to anticipate how users search for features and, on the other, not to miss some of them over time. Maybe it is a good idea to take some time and add all missing stuff since I am wrapping up the 5.0 release.
If I remember correctly, data sharing came as a suggestion on my first post here on Lemmy. Over the last year, I refined that, and now users on the same instance can share their data. You are even able to connect to users on other instances of Reitti and finally share your data via magic links.
I am really thankful for all the support Reitti gets, and the ideas of our users make a difference in how it is coming along.

I’m trying this out right now. I’ve been using dawarch but it still has some ironing out to do.
FYI, the wget command pulled the github web page HTML where the file is hosted instead of the file itself. Weird. Easy fix but I’m guessing that’s a GitHub issue.

I fixed the link and it should be resolved in a couple of minutes. I used the wrong one and never tested that command.
Thank you for coming back with that. That really helps :)

No problem. By the way, this is a HUGE improvement over dawarich IMO. On my system, it just works extremely smoothly and connecting it with other services worked seamlessly.
I’m now using OwnTracks on mobile, and it was easy to connect to Immich and see my photos on the timeline. This is great! Thanks for sharing it.

I am happy to hear that.

Thank you for the info. I will check the command.

Do you know if it works well with GrapheneOS?
Does it use http or MQTT?
I was using Traccar and that worked well until moving to GOS and then background updates wouldn’t work.
I tried owntrack and nextcloud but never got it to work.

You can get data via HTTP into reitti. Registering reitti on a MQTT broker also works.

I am using the OwnTracks app on Graphene OS via http and it’s working well so far, but I only set it up very recently.
I installed with obtanium and it doesn’t need any play services, Graphene’s location service works fine.
I am using a different back end though, GeoPulse not Reitti. Still evaluating the different choices, I will probably try Reitti as well.
