Can we update to latest version 6.5

[Rowleys]

Hi. Is there anyway that we can update manually to the lastest version of traccar.

Thanks

[LarsNorgaard]

You can do a fork and edit the dockerfile like this:
https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-traccar/pull/283/files

[Rowleys]

So if I edit the file .
traccar/Dockerfile
ARG TRACCAR_VERSION="v6.5"

will I need to do an new install or will it update ?

[LarsNorgaard]

Ohh I thought it would be as simple as that. I see the docker file already has v6.5 in it, but the server build says it's version 5.12?

[Rowleys]

I dont know then. Will the owner not make a update ?

@frenck is this add-on still supported? Can we expect update or should we fork it?
The coming google timeline EoL makes the topic quite relevant ;)

i would also love to see this happen. I know that the Traccar author has an official Docker image (just not specifically for home assistant) here:
https://www.traccar.org/docker/

If i understood how all this works i would do it, but it's currently beyond my ken.

latest version is now 6.6

https://www.traccar.org/blog/traccar-6-6/

Notable changes in this release include:
Managers can now send announcements
Fixes for multiline SMS notifications
Early and late computed attributes
Improvements to user session security
Support for custom navigation links
Enhanced speed color scheme
Collapsible settings and reports drawer
Improved device card UI
Event report filtering by alarm type
Chart report enhancements
There are no new protocol ports, but we have added support for some new device models and improved support for existing devices.

it looks like there is a pull request in the queue that is asking to update from 6.5 to 6.6...

Other than v6.6 just being released a few days ago. It needs a new release built.
ie https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-traccar/releases only shows v0.25.0 done back Feb 2024.

@frenck, the renovate bot appears to correctly updating the docker file to get the later version of traccar v6.6.
however the last action i see ran is this for v.6.5, and it only updated the Edge repo - https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-traccar/actions/runs/11793092549/job/32847993533

Tried the Edge repo version of v6.5, and it crashes, fails to start. I assume this is why it hasnt proceeded from edge

[DanielNagy]

Fyi - this is the addon logs i get from the Edge Traccar, not very helpful debug log.
