About FindMyDeviceServer

FMD Server is the open-source backend that powers the FMD Android app — a self-hostable alternative to Google Find Hub. It receives end-to-end encrypted location pings from your phones and serves a web interface where you can send remote commands.

The project is licensed GPL-3.0-or-later and maintained by the fmd-foss organisation on GitLab, originally created in 2021 by Nulide and now developed alongside maintainer Thore Göbel. The server is a small Go binary that stores data in SQLite — a migration from the earlier ObjectBox backend. Three official Docker images ship per release: Alpine (~55 MB), Debian (~160 MB), and a Distroless image at ~40 MB.

The upstream maintainers describe FMD as "a hobby project" and explicitly note they "can't guarantee that it will work when you need it the most." That is honest — it is also exactly the gap a managed offering fills. We run the same upstream binary, on production infrastructure, with the monitoring and backup discipline the project's own disclaimer warns is otherwise on you.
