Find-My alternatives (sh.itjust.works)

Hello. I just got a google pixel with grapheneos, and would like a way to use Apple's find-my or something similar with family members who still use Apple. I would like something open source that can either proxy my location to Find My or serve as an alternative. I know these apps and services are inherently not private but I do need it so please don't be the guy to say "just don't use it," I would if it were an option. Thanks.

I've been using traccar. It's more like a service for fleet management, but as a selfhosted alternative is as best as I was able to find.

Looks interesting. I already have a server set up so I could give it a try. I think I will wait a while to see if anyone suggests something a little easier.
