3.8 without root - impossible?
Not sure how you installed without root before. You need root permissions to install a service.
I installed with --keep and --target attributes. Then you add to cron this line:
*/1 * * * * if [ ! -n "ps ux | grep traccar | grep -v grep" ]; then cd /home/user/Traccar/bin; export JAVA_HOME=/home/user/jdk1.8.0_101; export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"; exec /home/user/Traccar/bin/traccar start &>/dev/null; fi
Of course you have Java also only unpacked (not installed). And with this line in cron you are sure that Traccar is up and running every time you need it.
But this method is useless with Traccar 3.8 :(
I think what you need is a manual installation:
Oh yes, I didn't notice that option.
In 3.8 I can't add more user than one (administrator)? I don't see relevant position in menu :(
Menu options are the same as before.
Sorry, maybe I'm just dumb but I can't see options "users" or similar.

You are not logged in as admin. It is menu of ordinary user.
Heh, indeed. Thanks for your patience. For anyone reading this: e-mail "admin", password "admin".
Hi,
first of all - greetz for such a wonderful tool! You're doing really great job.
Secondly, I tried to update my server (3.7) to new version 3.8. I don't have root on LAMP server when I run my traccar instance so I need to update it without access to sudo, /opt and /etc/init.d. In 3.7 it was possible for me to install traccar withour root permisions but I can't do it with 3.8.
Can you explain how to install & run 3.8 without root?
