FMD-Server_ is web interface to locate your Android device and send commands to it, take photos, lock or delete it.
A general Installation guide can be found on Gitlab.
https://gitlab.com/fmd-foss/fmd-server (Mainpage)
Prerequisites
A domain or subdomain to connect to your FMD-Server via web backend, The FMD-Server package from GitLab.
Installation
Download FMD Server:
https://gitlab.com/fmd-foss/fmd-server (Mainpage)
Download Link (11.9.2025) https://gitlab.com/fmd-foss/fmd-server/-/archive/v0.11.0/fmd-server-v0.11.0.zip
Rename to fmd-foss, unzip and copy the folder fmd-server to fmd-foss (you have the create this folder) into your /home/isabell/fmd-foss/
Use any sftp programm like filezilla or use the shell to copy the servers source code to your webhost.
Start the FMD-Server:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /home/isabell/fmd-foss/fmd-server/
go run main.go serve
# or
go build
./fmd-server serve
should result in:
.. code-block:: bash
WRN no config found, using defaults using config configFile= INF starting FMD Server dbDir=./db/ version=v0.11.0 webDir=./web/ INF loading database INF no SQLite DB found, creating one INF listening on insecure port PortInsecure=8080
Bind the server which shouĺd be running now to your domain via a web backend:
.. code-block:: bash
[isabell@stardust ~]$ uberspace web backend set allcolorsarebeautiful.example --http --port 8080 Set backend for allcolorsarebeautiful.example/ to port 8080; please make sure something is listening! You can always check the status of your backend using "uberspace web backend list".

Now should already work. You can try with your browser. But before you still have to restart your FMD-Server manually again. If your server is not running you will get a 502 Bad Gateway response. Final Step will be to let your system know abou howto start fmd-server on it's own:
We have to create a new service with supervisord and a fmd-server.ini in /home/isabell/etc/services.d/supervisord-fmd.ini,
with the following entries:
.. code-block:: ini
[program:fmd-foss] directory=home/isabell/fmd-foss/fmd-server/ command=home/isabell/fmd-foss/fmd-server/fmd-server serve autostart=yes autorestart=yes startsecs=30
You can user any sftp programm or your shell to copy your supervisord-fmd.ini
Afterwards, ask supervisord to look for the new supervisord-fmd.ini file:
.. code-block:: bash
[isabell@stardust ~]$ supervisorctl reread fmd-foss: available
Next step is to start your daemon:
.. code-block:: bash
[isabell@stardust ~]$ supervisorctl update fmd-foss: added process group
