TRACCAR LINUX INSTALLATION HOW TO

Next, your raspberry pi is likely sitting behind a router or firewall so you will need to forward a port so an external device like a GPS tracker can connect to our newly created server. We’re going to be using the Linux arm release, because the raspberry pi runs on an arm processor. Next step is to setup the tracking server, the name of the software is Traccar and here is their website. So if you want to learn more about this tracker, checkout Voltlog #272 linked on screen right now and then come back to watch this video.įirst step is to setup a fresh install of Raspbian, latest version from the source. In theory this should come with free online tracking service on some Chinese hosted server but I wasn’t able to connect to that server and so I thought why not setup my own server and try to pair it with this tracker.

The idea started a couple of videos back, in Voltlog #272 when I got this GPS tracker disguised into a general purpose automotive relay. It doesn’t have to be a Raspberry pi, because the software that we’re going to be using for the tracking server is available for Windows and Linux as well, so you could host this on your windows machine or in a virtual machine on a cloud service, it’s up to you, but in this video I’m going to do it on a Raspberry pi 4.
