Google maps tracking alternative
Some people have issues installing Own Track's Recorder - This one is very minimal and saves your locations to an sqlite file.

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.

none of the location tracking/sharing services are any good
I've looked at OwnTracks, Orion, and Hauk.

OwnTracks – keep track of your own location
As far as I know, owntracks doesn't actually store location history, it only defines a protocol for exchanging current location info between programs. If you're using their "official" recording server, writing a script to import history looks super easy [1].

Open-source, self-hosted location tracking with OwnTracks and Grafana
After setting up the client side, a server-side component to receive the OwnTracks app's requests is still missing. OwnTracks ships with its Recorder, which is a small and simple web application written in C. However, I did not like it a lot, as it does not look particularly beautiful and is very limited regarding its functionality. I rather wanted to visualize my data in Grafana. But to get it there, it first needs to be persisted to a database.

OwnTracks – keep track of your own location
The ownTracks docs for beacons is at [1,2], whereas there an open issue on the Overland repo suggesting something similar [3].
I think that getting a location [4] and detecting the presence and proximity of beacons [5] use different parts of the Core Location API.

The new warrant: how US police mine Google for your location and search history
There is an open source iOS app called Overland[0] that can continuously track your location history in the background and upload the data to an arbitrary endpoint as GeoJSON.
The "protocol" consists of a single HTTP request and response, so you can easily write your own server software to store the data however you want, which is what I did.
If you don't want to write your own backend, you can also just use the server software[1] the author of the app uses, which is also open source.
