Start traccar server under non root user
You can manually run it as a non root user.
Answer:
- stop traccar service
- create linux user
- in /opt/traccar/conf/wrapper.conf set:
wrapper.app.account=myuser
wrapper.app.password=password_only_if_user_has_login_password
- change file permissions on /opt/traccar for your user
- start traccar service
It is not working in Centos 7.1
That being said, we highly recommend you do not run Traccar as root user.
You can achive this by adding a systemd Drop-In to the traccar.service. For that, follow these steps:
mkdir /etc/systemd/system/traccar.service.d/
touch /etc/systemd/system/traccar.service.d/run-as-user.conf
[Service]
User=traccar
Group=traccar
Ok, you are right. But my post is right for older version of traccar server < 4.0.
What about new version 4.5 Linux?
How configure it to run Traccar as non root user?
