Nextcloud and Phonetrack maybe? https://github.com/julien-nc/phonetrack
I wish this had the feature set I was looking for. Either like life360 where I have circles and we have group location shares. Or like findmyfriends where its per person based. The per person one seems like it would be possible with a little bit of MQTT or something.
I use this and you can preemptively create some groups you can share your location to, then turn those on. If this works for you.
Traccar, open source self hosted solution: https://www.traccar.org
Alternatively: Hauk
(No idea how they compare)
It seems that Hauk project is abandoned. Las commit was 2 years ago.
What about locus maps? I did not look into the location sharing but there are many options according to https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:share. It is a paid App but it is really great. I use it all the time for hiking.
Edit: There is also owntracks (https://owntracks.org/) which loggs your location history. The Website can than be shared with whom you like.
I saw what I think was a plugin for osmand that would share your location in real time via telegram. Took a look, it looked okay, but people I know don't use telegram (or osmand - not necessary but helpful) so forgot it. Sorry, I can't find it now within osmand or fdroid!
There's a few location sharing apps in fdroid, maybe one of them could be an option? Dunno about iOS support, but the way the telegram/osm one worked is the receiver could have it link through to osmand or just click the link in telegram to see the map location online.
Osmand does have a generic facility for location uploads: within the track recording plugin. You can self-host a custom solution that takes a URL input to log a location point. Sorry, that's probably more work than you want! I certainly gave up on it!
It can be done with Google Maps but thats google. It does work well however. There is also traccar that can be self hosted but I don't know if there is an iOS client
This is probably worse than life360.. Lol
As a graphene user, this and Android auto are there only things I miss about iOS or Google services. I am following this post to see if anything good pops up. I travel a lot for work and I like my wife to know my location.

i haven't used it yet as I've found this app by accident just now: locus (Share your location end-to-end encrypted on decentralized servers using Nostr) - https://f-droid.org/app/app.myzel394.locus
i remembered your post and thought it may help
This would be the dream!
