Configuring Dump1090-fa to feed to third party providers (8.2)

[estruble]

I’ve done it in the past but I can’t find any current procedures. My SD card went south after 3 years so I have to rebuild my feeder but what I used previously doesn’t seam to be available anymore.

My latest install is PiAware 8.2 and I would like to re-add FlightRadar24, RadarBox, PlaneFinder, etc to my receiver but I can’t find any instructions newer then for PiAware 5.

Anyone know where I can locate the procedures? Also, does anyone have a good way to backup an SD card so the next time it dies, I can do a quick swap out???

Thanks,
Eric

You do NOT have to reconfigure dump1090-fa to feed other sites. It’s default configuration is suitable to feed not only Flightaware but almost all other sites as well.
