Container create example:

1. Create work directories:

   mkdir -p /opt/traccar/logs

2. Get default traccar.xml:

   docker run \
   --rm \
   --entrypoint cat \
   traccar/traccar:latest \
   /opt/traccar/conf/traccar.xml > /opt/traccar/traccar.xml

3. Edit traccar.xml: https://www.traccar.org/configuration-file/

4. Create container:

   docker run \
   --name traccar \
   --hostname traccar \
   --detach --restart unless-stopped \
   --publish 80:8082 \
   --publish 5000-5150:5000-5150 \
   --publish 5000-5150:5000-5150/udp \

   --volume /opt/traccar/traccar.xml:/opt/traccar/conf/traccar.xml:ro \
   --volume /opt/traccar/data:/opt/traccar/data:rw \
   traccar/traccar:latest

Database

The default when executing the above docker run command is an internal H2 database but this should only be for basic use.

The recommended solution for production use is to link to an external MySQL database and update the configuration .xml-file according to the Traccar MySQL documentation and using the docker run command as-is.

Default JVM options:

• -Xms1g
• -Xmx1g
• -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
