Hi, sorry for the delayed response. I installed dump1090-fa separately and the check-in to Piaware was successful. Actually the feed to FR24 is also working fine now, only problem is am not able to see the map.

The installation of dump1090-fa installs lighttpd also.
Lighttpd is necessary to display map of dump1090-fa.
Unfortunately in Pi24, lighttpd FAILS on reboot, causing map problem
The Pi24 image has a tmpfs entry for /var/log folder in it’s /etc/fstab file.
This entry causes deletion of contents of /var/log folder on reboot.
The lighttpd for some reason is unable to re-create it’s log file on reboot and crashes.

Details and workaround are here, if you are interested to see.

If using Raspbian Stretch img OR Piaware SD card img:

  1. After writing the img to microSD card, and while the microSD card is still plugged into your Desktop/Laptop, in Windows/Mac file explorer, click open the drive letter for microSD card, and in the folder opened, create a blank text file named ssh.

  2. Before installing FR24 feeder by by bash script, install package dirmngr
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install dirmngr

This is a really comprehensive guide. Learnt so much from it and I am going to try it. But before that, wanted to let you know of a configuration that seems to fix the problems right now.

To my existing Pi,
→ Installed dump1090-fa (piaware issues were solved by this)
→ Used the ModeS Beast configuration suggested by you initially for FR24
→ Edited the /etc/rc.local file to manually create lighttpd and log

Now all of Piaware, FR24 feed and map are working properly
