OwnTracks
Location tracking that publishes to your own broker
About OwnTracks
OwnTracks is a location tracking system that lets users record and share their movements privately through their own MQTT broker. Because it is self-hosted, you decide where the data lives, who can access it, and how long it is kept, with no per-seat lock-in. Regular community releases, public issue trackers, and extensive documentation help new administrators get from a first install to daily use quickly.
