Setup Traccar 4.2 on raspberry
Does your server log something?
no logs in /opt/traccar/logs, it's like the service is not started...
when i execute the command line : "sudo systemctl status traccar.service", i have :
● traccar.service - traccar
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/traccar.service; enabled; vendor preset:

My paths seams good
Ernesto, i have not installed java, could it be that, the problem? i have read somewhere that for tracacr v4 it is not obligatory...
My traccar.service (stored in /etc/systemd/system) :
[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
SyslogIdentifier=traccar
SuccessExitStatus=143
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.targetCheck under /var/log/syslog if there's more information about this error.
Probable causes that I can come up with (I'm just wondering):
1- Raspbian is a lightweight version, which means some executables are (could be) missing.
2- SD Card can be causing problems (totally unrelated but could also be an issue)
3- Have you tried to execute ExecStart commands manually? Do they also fail?
4- Are you using root user?
5- Are there any additional errors or warnings at server boot time?
6- Have you setup date and time correctly on server? This can often lead to undesired results.
7- Have you check if there are enough resources for execution?
As I said, I'm just wondering about probable causes here. You might have already check some of this, but if any missing they could not be the real problem, but lead you to find the actual problem and act in consequence.
Hope this helps.
Check this article
https://freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#id-1.20.8
Specifically states that exit code 203 refers to:
203 EXIT_EXEC The actual process execution failed (specifically, the execve(2) system call). Most likely this is caused by a missing or non-accessible executable file.
Hello people,
I've installed Traccar on Raspberry 3.
I've downloaded Raspbian, then from this website I've downloaded the ARM Linux zip file on my download folder on Raspberry.
I've run the installer with 'sudo ./traccar.run'
Then I can start manually with 'sudo systemctl start traccar.service' or stop manually with 'sudo systemctl stop traccar.service'
Can this be helpful?
Hello Pierluigi, you were right it the ARM Linux version that i have to use with my raspbian.
Thanks, u and ernesto for your answers .
You are welcome! :)
Hello traccar community,
i haven't found a tutorial to setup traccar 4.2 (the only version i want to use with RutG3R homeseer script) on raspberry. Tutorial for v3 exist but it is not the same method...
So for the moment, like it is said at the url https://www.traccar.org/linux/,
i have done a fresh install of raspbian lite and nothing else,
afteri have Run traccar.run (sudo ./traccar.run)
and Start service: with sudo systemctl start traccar.service? Next, I've gone to my browser (Traccar Server IP and port 8082) but it doens't work, i need some help because i'm not familiar with linux/raspbian;
Thank U for your help.
