I installed piaware yesterday on an already configured pi, with dump1090 and readsb.
Because I already had those, I did not install the dump1090-fa. Everything seems to be working, if I go the the status page, I do see the status, and it is feeding fine, and I can view the skyaware online version, but there is no skyaware local to view. I assume because /tar1090 is viewable already and it is probably the same as /skyaware, am I correct? Is there a way to get the skyaware web to install, without installing the dump1090-fa?
The skyaware local view is connected to the dump1090-fa software so if you are not running that you don’t have the local view.
Readadsb comes with the /tar1090 view and that is a replacement for the skyware local view.
Skyaware Anywhere is available to you.
Piaware web is also depending on the Dump1090-fa software.
You could install it ( it’s a web page but not a radar view like /tar1090) but I’m not sure if it will work correctly.
sudo apt install piaware-web

I did install piaware-web, it does work, but of course the link going to /skyview doesn’t work, since dump1090-fa is not there, but it’s not a big deal.
“/skyview” is incorrect. If it’s there, it would be “/skyaware”.
readsb if you use the automatic install script will remove any dump1090 variant … there can only be one program talking to the SDR.
Best guess: skyaware should probably still work with the aircraft.json readsb puts out.
You’d have to get the dump1090-fa webinterface, put it somewhere (check the default path in their lighttpd config files).
Then add the lighttpd config files and change em so it can get data from /run/readsb instead of /run/dump1090-fa.
That should be pretty much it.
There won’t be tracks on load as readsb doesn’t write history_xx.json files in /run/readsb.
But the rest will probably work fine.
