Hauk VS php-tracks-recorder

Hmm. My favorite thing I never actually used — Hauk. Location sharing. I.e. install app on your phone, it creates a link that you can send to someone, and they would see your location on a map on your server.

If you only run official containers from popular repositories, and not less known repositories (which carry more risk), then the normal Rootful Docker is fine.\ I like running smaller projects such as https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk/, so just in case the Docker image gets infected because e.g. the dev gets hacked, I run Rootless Docker to prevent damage.

If you don't mind self-hosting, check out Hauk.

Hauk https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk (my first choice)

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but there's something called Hauk you can host yourself.

If you're on Android or mixed, you could install e.g. php-tracks-recorder and use it with the OwnTracks app. The server part provides something like Google Location History (i.e. it stores all users' locations over time) but also sends a list of your family members' last known locations back to the OwnTracks app. You could probably set something up so that older records are purged from that database if you don't want to keep records.
