I could not find the right place for this question, so I try asklemmy.
I installed Traccar on a server and OwnTracks on my phone.
I get problems with the connection, does anyone can give some tipps? How to connect my phone to it.
Thanks, comments and links are welcome.
Can your phone reach your server at the address you’ve given?
There’s not a lot in your question to allow us to help you. Explain what you’ve done so far and what error message you might be seeing.
Thank you for your answer. I gave up on it at the time. I did work for days and I think it is the problem it works over TCP. The Web (Browser) could reach it and all worked, but the APP could not reach it. So I guess it is cloudflare blocking TCP. Am happy for all answers, so I can check on it later on again. Thank you.
a linux or selfhosting comm would be better.
make sure to open the correct ports, provide the correct identifier and check the traccar/owntracks logs.
I have it on a raspberry pi in a home network. Connected with a reverse cloudflared and in cloudflare in did set up the domain over the Tunnel routing on the right port. I think the problem is cloudflare only allow http and the data bis send over TCP. Thank you for your nanswer. When I bhave more time I will look again into it.
you can quickly verify if the packets are reaching it by simply checking its logs. traccar logs every connection attempt even if it isn’t authenticated. narrows it down a bit.
The website reaches and open. The packages from OwnTracks never get there. I think it is cloudflare or the reverse Proxy, maybe both I think. Thank you.
