traccar 6.4 on rpi 64bit
As expected when I install traccar 6.4 on a clean Raspbian installation it works perfectly using it's own java files.
However if I install it on system which already has java 11 on it I get all sorts of issues. Which version of java is included with traccar 6.4 ? If I make my system version the same as traccar version maybe my problems will dissapear.
When you install traccar, you can always check the version of java bundled with as follows:
root@eu:/home/wash# /opt/traccar/jre/bin/java -version
openjdk version "21.0.4" 2024-07-16 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-21.0.4+7 (build 21.0.4+7-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-21.0.4+7 (build 21.0.4+7-LTS, mixed mode)
If you want to run it with your own version of Java, then edit the service file:
root@eu:/home/wash# systemctl cat traccar
# /etc/systemd/system/traccar.service
[Unit]
Description=traccar
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/opt/traccar
ExecStart=/opt/traccar/jre/bin/java -jar tracker-server.jar conf/traccar.xml < CHANGE HERE!!
SyslogIdentifier=traccar
SuccessExitStatus=143
WatchdogSec=600
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
root@eu:/home/wash#
Then the usual systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl start traccar
HTH
Unfortunately that's part of the problem.
`mike@TestServer:~ $` sudo /opt/traccar/jre/bin/java -version
sudo: unable to execute /opt/traccar/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory
`mike@TestServer:~ $`
Yet if I go to /opt/traccar/jre/bin
`mike@TestServer:/opt/traccar/jre/bin $` ls -l
total 288
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70744 Aug 18 15:44 java
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70848 Aug 18 15:44 jrunscript
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70824 Aug 18 15:44 keytool
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70840 Aug 18 15:44 rmiregistry
`mike@TestServer:/opt/traccar/jre/bin $`
The java file is there.
I have installed traccar on odroid N2++ running debian bookworm. The server starts and I am able to access the web interface on port 8082. But when I try to send data to the server using osmand protocol on 5055. The server is not listening on port 5055. The setup works perfectly on rpi3b and i am able to use osmand protocol. I am using the linux arm64 install. Otherwise it a beautiful software and is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Anton and other co-developers. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Have you checked if the process is listening on the port? Are you sure it's not a firewall or some network issue?
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it was a firewall issue and I fixed it. Keep up the good work.
