Publishing ODK aggregate data to JSON server, conceptual/configurational help for a beginner

I am new to programming and server architecture and have a little bit of
experience making WMS throught Google Maps Javascript, ESRI Javascript,
Leaflet and Open Layers API's.

I currently have an ODK aggregate database which stores point locations
with a few data properties. I want to make a WFS (most likely using
OpenGeoSuite) displaying these data points. Since I want to build my own
database and self-host the data I was wondering if there's any definitive
guides into setting up a JSON server for the ODK aggregate data?

I've only been able to find the guide below:

I was wondering if it's possible to use python to convert the JSON to
GeoJSON objects? or does PostGIS or GeoServer already have this
functionality built in?

Hi there,

ODK Aggregate does an HTTP POST of JSON data to whatever URL you enter in
the publisher. If you want an easy way to try it, use a URL from
https://requestb.in as the JSON URL.

There are no definitive guides on how to build an ODK listener, but a good
place to start is this simple Python server at
https://gist.github.com/huyng/814831. You can change that code to do
whatever you want (including converting JSON to GeoJSON). If this thing you
are building will get more than test traffic, you might also want to look
at https://bottlepy.org because it'll likely be more robust.

If you have any other development questions, post it on the developers list
at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/opendatakit-developers. And
perhaps you can also write up your findings on how to build a listener and
share it with the community.

Thanks,

Yaw
