Radar (Find My Device) is a native find-my-device app for Sailfish OS: see your device's last position on a map and control it remotely via MQTT or SMS — fully self-hosted, no Google or cloud account involved.
Tested on: Fairphone 4 (SFOS 5.0.0.62), Emulator (5.0.0.62, 5.1.0.11)

First of all, thank you for all the effort you put into developing this app!
MQTT is a proven protocol, but it would be very convenient to have another option for uploading location data. Do you think it would be possible to implement an upload feature for Nextcloud Phonetrack?

If i underdtood it Right, you will get a Custom HTTP link which we need to add to the Radar App, which is called by Radar App when GPS Fix should be uploaded?
I think that should be possible. Please Send me at Community Forum (@DominikH) a PM With one example Upload link URL, then i can try to implement it.

Seems to work very fine. Found my phone correctly on the map.
I would love to see this as a Nextcloud app! I will most likely only have one phone in the future :)

unfortunately i dont have Nextcloud installed (or experience with it), but if someone is willing to develop such an app and knows how to do it i can support here with the implementation.
I added also an example python-flask app for personal usage within the github-repo under /docs/examples -- You can run it on your local computer or server and display the location and send remote actions. With that it should be easy to develop a nexcloud app then.
