Trying to make a pair of compasses that always point to each other
On your side, you need some way to be tracked. Easy solution is an app on your phone, I like OwnTracks as a privacy-respecting option.

I want more people to know about Obtainium.
It also allows me to keep Owntracks checked for updates while they sort out their current issue regarding being missing from F-Droid.
- Google maps tracking alternative

What are your top self hosted services that you are very satisfied with ?
I also use OwnTracks on my phone and installed OwnTracks Recorder on my server. I skimmed over my blog post for that but I don't think there's much useful for you there.

Self Hosted Kids Smartwatch Service/Tracker
You could look into OwnTracks. Not sure if it'll fit your use case fully, but it does allow multiple clients / devices to be listed.

Problem with adding patch to get location working
Hello, I'm trying to add microG to my OS by following the microG wiki (very well written!) However, I'm not able to add the additional patch(https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/blob/master/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch) to make location work (mentioned here - https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation)

MicroG has a list of NLP modules. Afaik it doesn't harm having several installed and working concurrently. The list here: https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp

Can you use UnifiedNLP on LineageOS 18.1 (no g-anything)?
Installing the app and following the instructions here (and here) to give it permissions (apk in priv-app, permissions xml)
There 3 difrent versions! Have a look at their GitHub Page.

MY LOCATION (ANDROID)
UnifiedNLP is an open source API which has been used to develop multiple NLP backends (https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp/wiki/Backends).

Something went wrong!
Or the MicroG one: https://github.com/microg/UnifiedNlp
- Google made it nearly impossible for users to keep their location private

GPS not working on LOS 17 gingko official (degoogled)
Since you did not install a GApps package you may want to check MicroG UnifiedNlp Network Location Provider without installing the entire MicroG signature spoofing hack & still get official LineageOS OTA updates.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing android and UnifiedNlp you can also consider the following projects:
GmsCore - Free implementation of Play Services
gpslogger - :satellite: Lightweight GPS Logging Application For Android.
MyLocation - Know your geo coordinates using on-device GPS and Network location providers
Overland-iOS - 📌 GPS logger for iOS devices
RemoteDroidGuard - Service to run Google's DroidGuard binary in an isolated environment
ichnaea - Mozilla Ichnaea
Orion - Robust web visualization tool for OwnTracks location data
new-clock - The best clock app there is
Compass - Compass is a GPS tracking server that stores data in flat files.
hardened_malloc - Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.
