How to Install Traccar on Fedora CoreOS Latest?

Traccar is an open-source GPS tracking system that provides real-time tracking, route histories, and geofencing features. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Traccar on Fedora CoreOS latest.

Prerequisites

• A server running Fedora CoreOS Latest
• The server must have access to the internet
• A user account with sudo or root privileges

Step 1: Install Docker on Fedora CoreOS

Traccar is packaged as a Docker container. Therefore, we need to install Docker on our Fedora CoreOS server before we can proceed with the installation of Traccar. The following are the commands to install and start Docker:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Verify that Docker is installed and running by typing the following:

sudo systemctl status docker.service

Step 2: Download the Traccar Docker Container

Traccar requires a database to store its data. Therefore, we will download the Traccar Docker container, which comes with a PostgreSQL database pre-installed. To download the container, type the following command:

docker pull traccar/traccar

Once the download is complete, you can verify that the Traccar container is available by typing this command:

docker images

Step 3: Run the Traccar Docker Container

Now that we have installed Docker and downloaded the Traccar container, we can start it by typing:

docker run -it -p 8082:8082 -p 5000:5000 --name traccar traccar/traccar

This command will start the Traccar container and expose the web interface on port 8082 and the API on port 5000.

Step 4: Accessing the Traccar Web Interface

To access the Traccar web interface, open your browser and type:

http://<your-server-IP>:8082/

Replace <your-server-IP> with the IP address of your Fedora CoreOS server. You should see the Traccar login page.

Step 5: Setting up Traccar

Now that you have accessed the Traccar web interface, you can proceed to set it up by:

1. Logging in using the default username admin and password admin
2. Changing the default password
3. Adding devices and users
4. Configuring Geofencing, Alerts, and Notifications.
5. Setting up a custom logo, email settings, and other branding options.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have covered how to install Traccar on Fedora CoreOS. With Traccar installed, you can now track your fleet or personal vehicles in real-time, generate route histories, and set up geofencing, alerts, and notifications.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
