Container creation example

Command to create a container using the default database and configuration:

docker run \
--name traccar \
--hostname traccar \
--detach --restart unless-stopped \
--publish 80:8082 \
--publish 5000-5300:5000-5300 \
--publish 5000-5300:5000-5300/udp \
traccar/traccar:latest

It is usually a good idea to mount the logs, data, and configuration file from the host. Make sure to create the directories and the configuration file first.

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

Production deployment

The default H2 database is not recommended for production use. For non-testing deployments, we recommend TimescaleDB for large installations or MySQL for smaller servers.

The following Docker Compose examples can serve as a starting point for your deployment with a production-grade database:
