    You could also install ‘redshift’ [https://github.com/jonls/redshift] directly from the Debian repositories.

    Local configuration file ‘~/.config/redshift.conf’:

    [redshift]
temp-day=4750
temp-night=2750
gamma=0.8
adjustment-method=vidmode
location-provider=manual
[manual]
lat=<float: latitude>
lon=<float: longitude>

    Setting ‘location-provider’ to ‘manual’ may reduce use of geoclue library (some may|do consider a cause for privacy concerns).

    The only downside is that the latest release is from 2018 which may indicate stalled development (or all work is actually done reasonably well and only maintenance is going on).
