Anybody know of any good, self-hosted, mileage tracker for business purposes? It will be for myself and possibly my wife for the photography business, getting tired of paying someone else $$$ if I can host the tracker myself.
Bonus points if it’s easy to get set up on TrueNAS Scale!
Can you explain what you mean for “business purpose”?
For my experience a Milage Tracker will be used if you have a truck fleet or driver to monitoring. For personal travel I look the route on Google Maps and bill to the customer what Maps show me.
If you track real mileage how much difference is there? 1-2 $?
For billing purposes, I’ve been using invoiceninja by adding the mileage rate as a line item and adding the number of miles for quantity. I haven’t been able to figure out a better way to do mileage on there.
I initially used the NextCloud PhoneTrack plugin, but was not able to easily get mileage from it so I made a custom app that matched the GPX points to OpenStreetMap
I since replaced it with Traccar, which works well for me. No easy way (AFAIK) to flag some mileage as business or personal, but I get mileage for each trip and find it easy to do my mileage repport with it
I know this is r/selfhosted, but I feel like a spreadsheet is sufficient for this. Serve it via Nextcloud to keep it self hosted if you want. I would probably just use a Google Sheet.
I’m honestly too lazy to do that, I rather spend more time setting up a tracker, failing, starting again and maaaaybeee getting it set up so that I won’t have to use spreadsheets. I also don’t want to spend $100/yr for a ready to use solution…which I already am lol.
Try using the search function and look at the subreddit sidebar for the awesome-selfhosted list.
Thanks! I did take a look at that. I couldn’t find something that told me “this is the specific app you’re looking for”.
Just a few quick ideas.

So i guess you need to actually read and interpret the search results for your own purpose.
