Installation

1. Rails Environment Variables

Certain credentials and parameters required to run the app are stored in a special file named application.yml and loaded using the figaro gem.

Here's an example of such file : config/application.yml

2. Seed admin account/rules

Running the seed_fu (powered by the seed_fu gem), it'll take care of the rest :

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:seed_fu

The seed data is located inside the db/fixtures directory.

3. Traccar server configuration file

Configuration file example

Also it's important to change Traccar default refresh delay as shown in the configuration file example above, here's why.

4. DROP all foreign keys on traccar database tables

It is important to deactivate all foreign keys on tables, because their database is setup in such a way that you can't remove a device without removing a position and you can't remove a last position without removing device.

5. Set up MySQL timezone

The app expects MySQL Timezone to be UTC.
