Family location sharing (beehaw.org)

My family has been using the Google Maps location sharing feature for a while. My partner is able to see if I'm running late, I can tell where my sister is when we travel together.

I would like to find a way to continue sharing my location with my family, without sharing it with Google. Are there any apps for this?

I think home assistant + the home assistant app will do this, although i have disabled map etc from HA so I dont have 1st hand experience. You need to self host HA and establish a connection either with nabu casa cloud or a vpn setup (it's quite easy to set up wireguard on HA)
