Do we prefer Ansible over Terraform?
What about Traccar? I see a section in there for “drives”, although I just leave mine on all the time
I just use what is called a “GPS Case” off of Amazon. I got the one branded “MoKo” and cut out the two elastic straps which allows me to put in both my halves of my split- I’m not sure if this will fit yours, but maybe it will give you ideas.
You change how frequently checks are performed. Traccar runs a simple every X seconds pattern. Default is 5 minutes. On 5 minute pings I see a 15-20% drain over the course of 24 hours, which seems reasonable, given that I’m on GrapheneOS and not leveraging Google’s location tracking simplifications. If you’re not on GrapheneOS your battery usage for location tracking will probably be better. Just not private.
I should note that my scenario was exactly the same. I wanted to share location with family. Additionally, Traccar supports temporary location share links for friends if you’d like. You’ll need to self-host it- I personally set up the Traccar server inside kubernetes and used Traefik for reverse proxy and SSL, but this is not necessary.
I started out with Owntracks. I found it to be unreasonably complex. I swapped to Traccar. It was much easier to get functional.
I’ll believe it when I see it- Spotify lossless was announced years ago. I don’t believe them.
I like AirVPN, my main issue is server stability. iVPN and Mullvad at least were able to maintain a connection continuously for weeks on end across various networks, but this is not the case for AirVPN. It’s to the point where I’m considering alternatives because I’ll start using my device only to find out the VPN tunnel has died and I have to manually reconnect it.
