Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'm back. So, Colata is just a better OwnTracks. It's a client, compatible with almost every selfhosted location server like HA, Dawarich, etc.
I followed the documentation (all on my phone) and it's pretty straight forward. I did what it said and it worked. There's nothing more to it.
Whenever I get some free time I'll install and try Colota with Dawarich or something else that let's me embed it inside HA through an integration with widgets.
Thanks for looking into it. What URL did you enter in the server endpoint? Is it just the HA domain? Or is it another link that I have to get from HA? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I genuinely don't know.
The documentation explains it perfectly. When you add the OwnTracks integration in HA, it gives you the url you have to use in the OwnTracks client which in this case is Colota.
In my case it was the Nabu Casa URL, since I pay for their cloud service.
