Hi,
have setup my raspberry pi feeder and like to change the Webinterface Live Data Hyperlink from an IP Address to a hostname format like https://hostname.domain:8080 under WEB Interfaces. How can I do that ?

On the system your web browser is on (Windows?) set up hosts and lmhosts text files in \windows\system32\drivers\etc that describe your network hosts and ip addresses… There are sample files there to use as a template. After doing that you can use hostname/skyaware in your browser to view the page.

Hi,
I don’ t need a local hostfile because I have an own bind9 and isc-dhcp server that has an fqdn entry of my raspberry adsb server.
It seems that the ip address that is hardcoded to the hyper link is transfered when the feed is setup the first time on flightaware.
I changed the rasperry lighttpd to https with own certificates and like to reach it via the FQDN when I klick on show live data Hyperlink
The local IP is NOT hard coded in “My ADSB” web page. It is dynamically sent to FA by piaware data feeder installed on you Pi.
When I setup my Pi, I was using dynamic local IP, and my router has set it to “192.168.12.97”. On “My ADSB” page this was the IP displayed as “Local IP”, and also used in “view live data” link.
After few weeks, I changed setting to static IP “192.168.12.21”, and reboot the Pi. Immediately “My ADSB” page started using the newly set static IP for “view live data” link as well as displaying it as “Local IP”
You’ll still need mapping of hostname to IP via lmhosts on your windows box in order to eliminate using an IP in the hyperlink to your RPi.
