Questions
Is there a Tracearr app for iPhone and Android?
Yes: Cupola, free and open source, connects to Tracearr directly. It is a public TestFlight beta on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and an APK on Android. See install.
Where do I find the Tracearr API key?
In Tracearr's own web interface: Settings → Data & API → API.
How do I manage my home server from my phone when I am away?
With the route you already have: a VPN such as WireGuard or Tailscale, or a reverse proxy. Give a connection a second address for when you are out, and Cupola uses whichever one answers.
My services are behind a reverse proxy with a self-signed certificate. Will it work?
Yes. Cupola asks once before trusting a certificate, then pins it to that host. Cloudflare Access tokens, proxy passwords and custom headers work too.
