Comment on Looking for selfhosted alternative to "Find my phone"

I use Dawarich on my server and Colota as the app on my phones. It is quite good but has some minor shortcomings with multiple devices and being able to see previous routes but is fine for live location.
I had been using Traccar and liked that but moving to GrapheneOS and Traccar client would not stay running in background.
I tried FMD FOSS and couldn’t get it to fully work. This serves a different purpose than those listed above and I ended up not really needing it.
I tried all of the other popular options and even linking one to Nextcloud and didn’t care for them or couldn’t get them to work.

I had this and switched to reitti with owntracks specifically to work with multiple family accounts. Owntracks is not as nice as Colota in most ways, but shows the live location of my family. I had some stability issues with dawarich using multiple devices (most likely user error) but liked it. I do think that reitti has a nicer interface and features, but probably a matter of taste.
