Web notifcations not working

Amado8 months ago

Hello!
I´m running traccar server 5.8
Web notifications are enabled in traccar configuration file (traccar.xml) as <entry key='notificator.types'>web,firebase,command</entry>
Push notifications via firebase are working ok and are received by traccar manager app
The problem is there no events notifications on the right panel on the web interface and in traccar manager. It is always empty
I checked traccar logs but I could not find any errors or related issues

I´m missing something?

Check connection status in settings.

Also note that it will only show events that happened when the app was open. It won't show old events.

Thank you Anton and sorry but I can't find any "connection status" under settings in the web interface- Is it somewhere else?
Understood; only live events are shown

It's not somewhere else. You click settings and under "info" section there should be connection status.

it says "offline". Why is that?

Anton Tananaev8 months ago

It means you have some problem with WebSocket connection. You need to investigate it. Sometimes it's blocked by a network provider.

ok, I will see that. What ports should be open?

Anton Tananaev8 months ago

The issue has nothing to do with any ports.

I found that there is no websocket server running in my ubuntu server
I did a quick search and I found two methods to enable websockets:
a) using nginx as reverse proxy
b) directly installing node.js (and choosing a specific port that listens for websockets connctions)

Which one do you suggest as more suitable for using with traccar app?

Anton Tananaev8 months ago

What you said makes no sense. Traccar is a WebSocket server.

Is this is true why I have offline status? I tried with 3 internet providers and I have the same problem in all of them

Or perhaps the problem is incorrect nginx.conf configuration. Do I have to add something to it to enable websockets? Could you give that modification?

SOLVED: I added a "location" section within sites-enables file. Now status is online within info

You never even mentioned you have nginx. Next time you should provide full context.
