Everything is working locally with skyaware, and as best I can tell I’m sending data to FA:
PiAware master process (piaware) is running with pid 8903.
PiAware ADS-B client (faup1090) is running with pid 8924.
PiAware ADS-B UAT client (faup978) is not running (disabled by configuration settings)
PiAware mlat client (fa-mlat-client) is not running.
Local ADS-B receiver (dump1090-fa) is running with pid 4093.
dump1090-fa (pid 4093) is listening for ES connections on port 30005.
faup1090 is connected to the ADS-B receiver.
piaware is connected to FlightAware.
dump1090 is producing data on localhost:30005.
However the stats page on FA shows I’m red and offline. It’s reporting an old site local IP so I’m wondering if there is some stale data there?
Not sure what else to look at.
piaware[8903]: 43069 msgs recv’d from dump1090-fa (751 in last 5m); 43069 msgs sent to FlightAware
Are you running any form of filtering on the network to which the Pi is connected; MAC filtering, firewall ports closed off, etc. How are you ‘getting’ status messages - are these from a terminal locally connected, or have you SSH’d in? Your status page reports an old local IP address - what does running ip addr give you as an IP address? Have you reserved the IP address for the Pi on the router’s DHCP; if so, does this match the results of the ip addr command?
I wasn’t able to get it to take my old UUID and thus I just created a new one so I have two sites on my account now. I’d like to merge the old stats with the new site but it’s not clear to me how that is accomplished.
3 ways this could be achieved; On the assumption that you know what your ‘old’ UUID was,
from either the local console or SSH’d in, enter:sudo piaware-config feeder-id UUID (where UUID is your old user ID)
Second option is shut down your Pi and remove the SD card, place this into a Windows-based pc, which will see a drive labelled bootfs. Open this, and find a file called piaware-config - open this with a text editor such as notepad or Notepad++ and find the line starting feeder-id and the new UUID - replace the new UUID with your original one, save the file, dismount the SD card and return to your Pi.
Option 3 (if you don’t have a record of your old UUID) would be for the FA support team to search for your email address in the user registration database and combine the two accounts; I needed to use this route before learning to keep a copy of the current piaware-config file off my Pi!!
Thanks @tomvdhorst , got it swapped back to my old one. I guess I have to wait to delete the “new” feeder off my account once it’s been inactive for a while. Cheers.
Yup, your temporary UUiD will be deleted after 30 days of innactivity. Glad everything worked out
For future reference, save a copy of your piaware-config off the Pi as I mentioned earlier - saves a huge amount of grief if you have to either upgrade or rebuild.
If you configure a new Pi using your old UUID which is out of use for over a month, you wont get back the same Site number. You will get a new Site number.
I just now tested it using my UUID which was obtained 10 years ago (in year 2016). Those days 4-digit Site numbers were issued. This site was abandoned about 4 years ago (late 2022)
Please see #13 in screenshot below.
Using UUID which was abandoned 4 years ago and originally had a 4-digit Site number from 2016, I got a 6-digit Site number (164456), which shows it is a new current number.
