Ask HN: Open-Source Alternatives to Google Location History?

I've been using Google Timeline (Location History) for years to remind me of what I have been doing on a specific day. However, Google will no longer store data in its cloud (https://www.techradar.com/phones/google-maps-will-soon-delete-your-location-histor… ). This brings me troubles because I really don't like to operate the cell phone when I have a much more powerful PC at hand. I would like to ask for advises for open source self hosted alternatives that collect location data quietly in background. Here are what I've found: https://github.com/traccar/traccar (server, client) https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger (client) https://github.com/home-assistant (server, has location tracking integration) https://github.com/owntracks (server, client) https://github.com/Freika/dawarich (server)
