Updating Traccar process : config files

Dough297 years ago

Hello,

when I update Traccar I always run a new instance to get new config files and then copy and edit with my custom entries (database, forward event, ...).

I this still necessary or when I update I can just copy-paste my "conf" folder to new Traccar and the service will detect and apply updates to config files ?

Hmm I just read what's written in "traccar.xml" conf file :

"This is the main configuration file. All your configuration parameters should be placed in this file.

Default configuration parameters are located in the "default.xml" file. You should not modify it to avoid issues with upgrading to a new version."

So I just have to keep my custom "traccar.xml" file and NEVER edit "default.xml" !

Yes, that's the intention.
