That is quite strange; I would not expect the :8080/dump1090-fa/ URL to work at all.
(edit: Huh, apparently it does. That’s an interesting quirk I didn’t know about)
Is this an unmodified piaware sdcard image, or something else?
I guess it kinda makes sense for the 8080 listener to inherit the main config, and then we’re just adding new aliases to it. I wonder if alias.url = ( only the stuff you want ) works.
(I’m not particularly attached to lighttpd, it is not great, but conversely I don’t really want to dump a whole apache install in there either)
