Traccar installer for amlogic (android tv box)?

wtraccar3 years ago

Hello everyone.
Is it possible to install traccar to an amlogic box (S805, S905, S905x, S912)? Android is Linux so it should run right?
Rooted. Would be nice to have a stand-alone, dedicated traccar server running on a box with 2G Ram 16G Rom.
Thank you.

You can try to run it manually. As long as you can run Java there, it should work.

Thank you Anton for the advice.
So I guess I don't have to install those armbian on an old Android-box (S805,S812,S905) then:

But I read somewhere: Traccar needs an OS that has systemd (all of the linux distro), but Android doesn't use systemd.
So traccar won't work 100% with Android OS. I might still have to install armbian :( :( on an old android-tv box.

If you want to use Linux installer, you need systemd. You can run it manually without it, as I said.

Thank you again Anton. TO run it manually, the command is this one?
java -jar tracker-server.jar conf/traccar.xml

And the package to download is: traccar-other-4.12.zip ?
Thank you very much.
