Secure Connection on Windows

Traccar serves the web interface and API using the regular HTTP protocol, which does not use any encryption. This guide provides instructions on how to enable HTTPS on Windows using Caddy server.

To enable HTTPS you need a domain name. If you don't have a domain yet, check our documentation on how to register and configure a custom domain name with Traccar.

Caddy installation and configuration steps:

• Download Caddy server with standard features

• Create C:\Program Files\Caddy and move the downloaded file there

• Rename file to caddy.exe

• Create Caddyfile text file in the same folder with the following content (replace demo with your domain)

  demo.traccar.org:80 {
    reverse_proxy http://localhost:8082
  }
  
  demo.traccar.org:443 {
    reverse_proxy http://localhost:8082
  }
  

• Create a Windows service

  sc.exe create caddy start= auto binPath= "C:\Program Files\Caddy\caddy.exe run"
  

• Start the service

  sc.exe start caddy
