Nice article, and a fresh practical take on FOSS.

FMD is great, I use it frequently.

    It does look great! Looks like the perfect FOSS alternative for Cerberus Anti-Theft.

    But is Cloudflare required to use FMD?

    So I just use it by authorizing my wife a and kids to use fmd commands, which means I just tell my wife to send me a text with "fmd ring" and it will start ringing until I find and stop it.

    Also, it will message my wife and kids if the phone gets below 5%

    it is not, OP states in their blog that they use a cloudflare reverse proxy (probably a cloudflare tunnel) to secure the fmd instance, but you can also just not expose it to the web and use a VPN to access it on your home network :)
