Like many here, I don't use google services and I disable everything i possibly can that's related to it.

However, I realized if I lose my phone, I'm boned. And whoever has it could probably bypass my lock.

I found FMD on f droid. Any other good programs out there?

Phone is an s23 (unfortunately)

How difficult was it for you to configure your self-hosted instance of FMD?

I already have a server which I use to self host owntracks. However, I don't know much about nginx and after using the automated owntracks installer, I can't seem to properly configure reverse proxy for anything else eg. Linkwarden.

There really isn't that much when it comes to customization. Your reverse proxy needs to support websockets and I use Caddy for that.

I also host ntfy on the same server and FMD had problems sending requests to it. All I had to do was to allow FMD container to send requests to the host machine by adding ntfy.mydomain.com:host-gateway Docker host mapping to it.
