Update Server Information

Update your Traccar server instance information.

IMPORTANT

This endpoint is restricted to admin users only on the Traccar server.

Request

To update Traccar server information, follow the steps below.

1. Get the current server information.

$data = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Facades\Server::getInformation();

2. Update the new DTO as needed.

$data->map = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Enums\Map::LOCATION_IQ_DARK;
$data->attributes->speedUnit = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Enums\SpeedUnit::KILOMETERS_PER_HOUR;

IMPORTANT

Only update the fields you want to change.

3. Send the updated DTO to the server method.

$response = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Facades\Server::updateInformation($data);

Full Example

// Get the current server information
$data = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Facades\Server::updateInformation();

// Updated
$data->map = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Enums\Map::LOCATION_IQ_DARK;
$data->attributes->speedUnit = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Enums\SpeedUnit::KILOMETERS_PER_HOUR;
$data->attributes->speedUnit = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Enums\SpeedUnit::MILES_PER_HOUR;
$data->attributes->distanceUnit = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Enums\DistanceUnit::MILES;
$data->attributes->altitudeUnit = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Enums\AltitudeUnit::FEET; 
$data->attributes->volumeUnit = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Enums\VolumeUnit::LITERS; 
$data->coordinateFormat = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Enums\CoordinateFormat::DDM;
$data->announcement = 'Planned maintenance on Saturday 02:00 UTC';
$data->attributes->timezone = 'Africa/Nairobi';
$data->fixedEmail = false;
$data->bingKey = 'your-bing-key';

// Send
$response = \ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Facades\Server::updateInformation($data);

IMPORTANT

This process preserves unknown/forward-compatible attributes and avoids accidentally resetting fields you didn’t intend to change.

Results

The response is an instance of ThingsTelemetry\Traccar\Dto\ServerData DTO class

$version = $info->version; // "6.10"
$mapProvider = $info->map->label(); // "Google Satellite"
$speedUnitValue = $info->attributes->speedUnit->value; // "kmh"
$speedUnitLabel = $info->attributes->speedUnit->label(); // "Kilometers per Hour (km/h)"
$timezone = $info->attributes->timezone; // "Africa/Nairobi"

Traccar UI Side Effect

When updateInformation is called, some configuration values are updated to default null or false values.

Before: Null & False Attributes Hidden

After: Null & False Attributes Visible

This caused them to show up on Traccar UI. This however, does not affect the actual server configuration.
