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.
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.
Radicale and Baikal are the most popular ones, but I wanted to share a few lesser known ones:
Etesync
Stalwart*
*Yes, Stalwart is a full blown Email+Calendar solution, but it requires 1 Core & 100 mb of RAM. And you get both CalDav & the newer & superior JMAP protocol.
It's backed by NLNET NGIO and it has a proven track record.
I was under the impression that plutonium on my server would be controlled by me. Say, if I wanted to give it away, I could. At least, that's what I've read.
This is my favorite combo. Best apps for general use. Interstellar is better for image posts since it's the only Lemmy app that supports masonry layout.
What about the lesser part... what happened?
