I switched my server to new and more powerful hardware. On my old one, I had to install traccar manually, which was fine, but I skipped doing updates on version 3.16. I am now setting up my new server and traccar is available as a package for easy updating with system updates. My question is now:
Is it safe for the database (mariadb) if I just install the latest traccar server and give it the database from the 3.16 version? Or is corruption expected in that case?
Another quick question: How do I need to adapt my traccar.xml config for traccar to connect to mariadb with a unix socket? My current config is:
<entry key='database.driver'>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</entry>
<entry key='database.url'>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/traccar?useSSL=false&allowMultiQueries=true&autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8&sessionVariables=sql_mode=''</entry>
<entry key='database.user'>XXXXXX</entry>
<entry key='database.password'>XXXXXX</entry>
Thank you a lot in advance for any advice!
It should be fine, but make sure you backup it first just in case.
Thank you, it indeed worked like a charm!
For who might wonder about the socket issue and maybe arrived here: It looks like the java mysql connector does not support unix sockets at all. Therefore, we have to bind-address=127.0.0.1 in my.cnf
