Traccar Docker Compose example

Self-host Traccar on your own server, homelab, or VPS starting from this Docker Compose example. It runs Traccar in Docker containers using the official traccar/traccar:latest image, with persistent volumes and automatic restarts preconfigured. Review the environment variables and adjust them to your setup, save the file as compose.yml (or docker-compose.yml), and start the stack with docker compose up -d.
