An open source app that remote controls by sms and web interface the android device by means of getting the curent location, the location history,make it ring,get stats,or completely wipe/factory rreset it.

At its core, FMD is just a binary that you can run directly.

here we will see how to selfhost the server running the service with systemd but also athe docker-compose implemntation

Systemd

1) requires go lang installed on the host machine

i had to install it over aur on manjaro arm

sudo pacman -S yay

yay install -S go

debian

sudo apt install golang-go

or if you dont like package manager from source

https://golang.org/doc/install

2) clone the repo

git clone https://gitlab.com/Nulide/findmydeviceserver.git

or download and extract the source

https://gitlab.com/Nulide/findmydeviceserver/-/releases

3) navigate on the apropriate cloned/extracted folder

cd ~/findmydeviceserver/src

4) build the project

sudo go build fmdserver.go

5) test that it runs smooth

~/findmydeviceserver/src/fmdserver

6) navigate to localhost:1020

7) stop the server

ctrl + c

8) edit the .service file

nano etc/systemd/system/fmdserver.service

replace the executable filepath

ExecStart=/home/user/findmydeviceserver/src/fmdserver

filepath have to be ansolute . replace user with your username

9) copy file to systemd

sudo cp /home/ippo/findmydeviceserver/src/etc/systemd/system/fmdserver.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/fmdserver.service

10) start the service

sudo systemctl start fmdserver

11) enable the service

sudo systemctl enable fmdserver

12) for https i am using caddy and reverse proxying the unsecure 1020 port with another port as caddy adds automaticly the certificate and encryption

sudo nano /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

add

your.domain.name:an.open.router.port { reverse_proxy localhost:1020 }

so if lets say you have a ddns names ippo.cratis.net and have opened 8000 port on your router and port forwording that port on your raspberry/linux machine that caddyfile should look like

ippo.cratis.net:8000 { reverse_proxy localhost:1020 }

now you can saffely access your fmd server froom ippo.cratis.net:8000

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
    fmd:
        build: https://gitlab.com/Nulide/findmydeviceserver.git#v0.4.0
        container_name: fmd
        ports:
         - 127.0.0.1:8080:8080
        volumes:
            - './data:/fmd/objectbox/'
        restart: unless-stopped

Replace the version with the latest release.

• Persisting storage:

• FMD has a database and needs to persist it across container restarts. You need to mount a Docker volume at /fmd/objectbox/ inside the container. It must be readable and writable by uid 1000 (ideally it is owned by uid 1000). This example mounts a folder named ./data (in the current directory outside the container).

• Networking: FMD Server listens for HTTP connections on port 8080. This example has a port mapping from “127.0.0.1:8080” (on the host) to port 8080 (inside the container).

• Reverse Proxy

With Caddy:

Caddyfile

fmd.example.com { reverse_proxy localhost:8080 }

Caddy will automatically create a Let’s Encrypt certificate for you.
