TracCar Server receive data from GPS tracker and submit data to SinoTrack Server too for tracking
Yes, you can forward the data.
Great! How do I go about that forwarding of the gpa data setup? Is it at TracCar config xml file? Or at TracCar Manager, Settings, Device properties?
Configuration file.
Ok. Got it. Thanks alot!
BTW SinoTrack GPS Tracker does not support URL only IP for server platform.
Thanks.
That's exactly what we're expecting as well.
Luckly, SeeWorld and iStarTek GPS Tracker supports URL and IP for server platform parameters. Then DDNS URL can be use with Home TracCar Server.
I have just accidently found the solution to setting ST-906L and ST-904L SinoTrack device trackers to accept Domain Name format but it can only be set using TracCar Device Custom Command Upload function and not via SMS command send method which failed earlier.
8040000 rodyeo.dyndns.org 5013
Note: The default pin is 0000 as above following after the command function code 804 for IP.
Thank you very much Mr. Anton Tananaev for such great tips on Server Forwarding highly sought after features.
<entry key='forward.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='server.forward'>rodyeo.dyndns.org</entry>I was able to create a secondary TracCar server of my real time data sync.
From primary TracCar Server 1 @ where all my GPS Client submit their raw data.
To secondary TracCar Server 2 as live raw GPS data copy for backup redundancy purposes in event the primary server crashes.
I document this concept of TracCar Server Forwarding intended as TracCar Wiki solution for the TracCar community interest.
Thanks a million!

I want to clarify my finding stayement on SinoTrack GPS Tracker actually does support URL or Domain Name or IP for server platform all along.
The problem was my Malaysian Teleco blocks SMS with URL Links or Domain Name for SPAM censorship lately therefore making it impossible for me to send SMS Commands to the SinoTrack Tracker to change the reporting server IP to Domain Name.
But once I temporary used IP method to my own traccar server public IP then I was able to change the Tracker reporting server from IP to Domain Name flawlessly.
So it was this issue all along making me think the manufacturer tracker do not accept Domain Name was false preception.
SinoTrack support personnel was secret about this issue and took me for a ride for their dishonesty until I found the truth and root cause.
To add on SinoTrack ST-906L tracker using SimCom chipset give very precise GPS location to the feet difference which is great!
But SinoTrack ST-904L tracker using QuectTel was hopeless with way off gps location by 10 to 20 meters away which is not usable for tracking lost pets and elderly person.
I hope my findings helps others to avoid making purchases mistakes in future.
Cheers
Is there such a features for TracCar Server to receive data from SinoTrack GPS tracker and also re-submit data to SinoTrack Server too for tracking too.
Idea is to use TracCar Server as the backup redundancy server data capture and acts as reversed proxy to re-submit GPS data from SinoTrack Tracker.
Is this solution feasible? We can set the url to the external sinotrack ip and port at TracCar Device profile.
Reason for this is because gps tracker only accept one ip and port for data submission.
