There's https://owntracks.org/, which has iOS and Android apps and instructions on setting up your own server. If you run NextCloud self-hosted already, there's PhoneTrack (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/phonetrack), which has a list of supported/suggested apps that send data back to it in a compatible format.
And, I might add, consider GrapheneOS and CalyxOS as alternative operating systems for your Pixel phone.

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.
