The satnogs rotator is a good start for DIY as Don had mentioned. It uses
a homebrew tracker that is controlled by hamlib. There is also
https://www.portablerotation.com/ for an off-the-shelf solution. I
believe this can also be controlled via hamlib (and thus a raspberry pi
running GPredict should be able to control it).
