Traccar on Synology NAS

PJH2 years ago

Hello,

I got Traccar installed on a Synology NAS DS620slim in a Docker container.

Traccar works with the "old" WebUI and locates my iPhone with installed Traccar-Client, but it does not do with the "modern" WebUI.

I use the same (of course) settings in both versions.

Can anybody give me a hint why that happens?

Thank you very much an best regards.

Is the WebSocket connected?

Hello Anton,

thank you for that very quick answer, but what do you mean with WebSocket?

Would you please explain?

Traccar uses WebSocket to update data. Old version has a fallback to normal API, so it might show you data even if the WebSocket has an issue.

Yes, thank you again, but how can I connect?

Hi Anton,

I found the settings for the use with WebSocket on Synology NAS and activated it.

Now the "modern" version of Traccar works well.

Thank you very much for your friendly assistance.

Best regards. PJH

It connects automatically. But it's possible that something is blocking it on your network. That's why you should check it.
