Hi All,
Good day. I need some experts guidance and steps how to install the traccar into synology. I only can find limited resource on how traccar can be installed into synology. However, without much success.

Here is what i had gone through the steps

On the ipkg installation here are the steps i have gone through

Step 1 - to confirm what type of processor it has
my DS415play return :
Model : 54
model name : Intel (R) Atom(TM) CPU CE5335 @1.60GHz
Model : 54
model name : Intel (R) Atom(TM) CPU CE5335 @1.60GHz
Model : 54
model name : Intel (R) Atom(TM) CPU CE5335 @1.60GHz
Model : 54
model name : Intel (R) Atom(TM) CPU CE5335 @1.60GHz

Step 2- get the ipkg install
wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-i686/cross/unstable/syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2-7_i686.xsh

step 3 - make it executable
chmod +x syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2-7_i686.xsh

step 4 - Run the script
sh syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2-7_i686.xsh

step 5 - remove script
rm syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2-7_i686.xsh

Step 6 - Update the package list
ipkg update

step 7 - add repo: https://www.cphub.net/ into package center
packager center > setting > package source

step 8 - install mariDB

Step 9 - install traccar

encounter error during installation. Here is the error message :

Fail to install "traccar". gettext is not installed. Please install gettext via CLI or if available, via package center.

any kind soul can help... thank you.

It looks like gettext is missing. Here is an installation instruction from the author:

It might be a bit outdated.

Hi Anton,
thank you for your response to my post. Thank you for posting that link to me, that i where the place i learn as well..

The ipkg installation package come with these files coreutils, textutils, gettext as well. I verified it by typing the command ipkg list. There is also a strange thing happen, after the completion of ipkg installation, once i reboot synology, all the file went missing. i wasn't sure wheather synology intentionally preventing ipkg installation

do you have any resource write up on how to install the gettext installed into the synology. I would want to give it second attempt.

I read a lot of forum post, many of synology user couldn't get traccar installed into synology.. I wasn't sure will you guide us along the way...

thank you and have a great day ahead.
best regards
Yee Khoon

I don't know much about Synology. Package prepared by 1sthandy. Maybe you can ask him for help.

I hope he could write up the installation guide on how to install all these files coreutils, textutils, and gettext into synology.

Thank you and have a great day ahead.

do you have a symlink to /opt ?

the installer look for /opt/bin/gettext

You can install with the cphub repo also the "Easy Bootstrap Installer" this creates a symlink to /opt
