I want to set up location sharing for my family/friends, but

without having a closed source app having access to my location/sensors all the time
be able to choose when I want to share

Any recommendations?

Edit for those who find this later: I ended up choosing Traccar suggested by @mbirth@lemmy.ml, but big thanks to everyone who brought some ideas to the table! I'll leave my configs here.

for two reasons, I can't use this.

Android. Me, my family. Our past phones were, our current phones are, and future phones will be Android phones.
I'm looking for whatever it may be to be OSS and self-hostable (if the community name didn't give that implication away)
