How to Install Traccar server on AWS Amazon step by step (Tutorial)

First that nothing, I want to thank all those who made possible this project "Traccar" in particular the Lord Anton Tananaev many thanks.

1. the first is that we must acquire a VPS of your choice, in my case I use Ubuntu Server 14.

2 we need to access our VPS using putty here you have a tutorial on how to do it. How to configure putty

1. Once inside our vps using Putty we proceed with the installation of the Traccar Server

4-steps to follow once inside our VPS

# sudo su
# apt - get update
# wget https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/releases/download/v3.1/traccar-linux-64-3.1.zip
(In case you use VPS 64-bit (recommended)
# wget https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/releases/download/v3.1/traccar-linux-32-3.1.zip
(VPS 32-bit)
#unzip traccar-linux-64-3.1. zip
#apkg - configure - a
#apt-get install mysql-server phpmyadmin unzip
#vi /opt/traccar/conf/linux.cfg

Finally, in the client installed on the device, we will put our IP and port 5055.

Is this still valid for the new version 3.4

the new version is on this address
https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/releases/download/v3.4/traccar-linux-64-3.4.zip

Yes, it should still be valid.

Hi.
Excellent work!
Anton and Julio are amazing!

Please, I have an issue in the line #vi /opt/traccar/conf/linux.cfg
I have a Amazon AWS EC2 eith Ubuntu. I'm installing doing steps and using traccar-linux-64-3.5.zip version. But, when I try to edit the file with path using nano editor, nano says that path doesnt exist.
I checked and the directory traccar is not within the directory opt.

Please, can you help me?

Thanks.

Hi @Julio.Rodriguez

Please, there is an installation guide for Windows server?

I have installed Traccar server on Windows, and I can run into server (AWS Windows Server 2012 64) with http://localhost:8082 working fine, but if I try to run outside of Windows Server using its public IP (http://52.24.224.XX:8082/) it does not work.

Also, I cant configure a iPhone and Android phones for tracking. The AWS server has the configured rules for TCP and UDP with port 8082.

Thank you.

Gustavo

Most likely it means you haven't opened ports in firewall.

Ohm, yeah, Anton.
My mistake.
Thank you!

Hello gustavo, I'm working on a guide for windows server, currently acquired the GPSWOX platform, and in my company we are developing it, take a look, gpswox.com

Hello, Julio.
Wow! Really nice.
I'm really interested in Accessories and sensors.
I will waiting when gpswox is open for public.
Thanks.

Gustavo.

Use

#sudo ./traccar.run

instead of

#apkg –configure –a

Also, AWS uses yum instead of apt-get

Did someone get to install newest Traccar version on AWS EC2?

Hi

Please, there is an installation guide for Ubuntu server?

I have installed Traccar server on Ubuntu , and I can run into server (AWS Windows Server 2016 64) in vm http://172.31.31.19:8082/ working fine, but if I try to run outside of Ubuntu Server using its public IP (http://172.31.31.19:8082/) it does not work.

Also, I can't configure a Android phones for tracking. The AWS server has the configured rules for TCP and UDP with port 8082.

Thank you.
