Is a dedicated server required?

Do I need a dedicated server or VPS to Install Traccar web interface or can I install on shared hosting. Many Thanks

Yes, you need a VPS or dedicated server to host Traccar. The reason is that Traccar needs to use raw TCP and UDP ports for device communication and shared hosting don't give access to those.

Ok I got the server from digital ocean. installed Ubuntu 14.04 java jre and the traccar server. that's all the components running on the server. the traccar web interface looks good. The problem is using both the android and iPhone app my position does not show on the map. the log in both the apps display time and location update. I think the server is at fault or rather my configuration. has anyone any ideas
thanks

You can check server logs (/opt/traccar/logs/tracker-server.log) to see if there are HEX messages from your devices there.

Sorry my mistake. I had not entered the correct port number in the iPad and android clients. It appears to be running well now reporting my exact position. I am very Impressed with Traccar. I have a few questions about the server.

How many connections can it handle at any one time?

How many devices can it display?

Thanks

Traccar has been tested with 10k+ real devices and 30k simulated devices. Number of connections it can handle depends only on your server specifications.

There are no limits on displayed device either.
