How to install piaware data feeder on Fedora 31 x86_64

Will be posted when & if I succeeded to build piaware data feeder from source code on Fedora.

How to install Planefinder and Flightradar24 data feeders on Fedora 31 and RHEL 8.1 x86_64

(A) PLANEFINDER DATA FEEDER

NOTE:
Planefinder does NOT offer an x64 feeder. It offers only i386 feeder. We will therefore use the i386 feeder.
On fedora the “pfclient_4.1.1_i386.deb” package cannot be installed.
We will therefore use linux binary tarball “pfclient_4.1.1_i386.tar.gz”.
Since the tarball does not contain any configuration, init, or service files, we will create all this manually.

1 - Prepare x86_64 OS to accept i386 linux binary

Fedora

sudo dnf install glibc.i686  glibc.x86_64 audit.x86_64   

.
RHEL

sudo dnf install glibc.i686 libgcc.i686 libgcc.x86_64 audit.x86_64
 

.

2 - Download and uncompress tarball “pfclient_4.1.1_i386.tar.gz”

sudo dnf install wget  
sudo mkdir /usr/share/pfclient  
sudo wget -O /usr/share/pfclient/pfclient_4.1.1_i386.tar.gz "http://client.planefinder.net/pfclient_4.1.1_i386.tar.gz"  
sudo tar zxvf /usr/share/pfclient/pfclient_4.1.1_i386.tar.gz -C /usr/share/pfclient/  
sudo cp /usr/share/pfclient/pfclient /usr/bin/pfclient  

.

3 - Create configuration file

sudo touch /etc/pfclient-config.json  
sudo chmod 666 /etc/pfclient-config.json  
sudo echo "{}" > /etc/pfclient-config.json  

[spoiler][/spoiler]

4 - Setup systemd service for auto-start at boot, and for start, stop & status.

4.1 - Create system user pfc to run the pfclient

sudo useradd --system pfc  

[spoiler][/spoiler]
4.2 - Create a new blank file pfclient.service

sudo dnf install nano  
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/pfclient.service  

[spoiler][/spoiler]
4.3 - In file pfclient.service , copy-paste following code:

[Unit]
Description=Planefinder Feeder
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
SyslogIdentifier=pfclient
RuntimeDirectory=pfclient
RuntimeDirectoryMode=0755
User=pfc
PermissionsStartOnly=true
ExecStartPre=-/bin/mkdir -p /var/log/pfclient
ExecStartPre=-/bin/chown pfc /var/log/pfclient
ExecStart=/usr/bin/pfclient --config_path=/etc/pfclient-config.json --log_path=/var/log/pfclient $ 2>/var/log/pfclient/error.log
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=30

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target  

Save file (Ctrl+o) and close file (Ctrl+x)

[spoiler][/spoiler]

5 - Enable the pfclient service by following command

sudo systemctl enable pfclient  
sudo systemctl restart pfclient  
sudo systemctl status pfclient  

.

6 - RHEL only: Configure firewall

This is necessary to enable display of Planefinder Configuration and Map page at IP:30053 in browser of another computer on same LAN

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=30053/tcp
firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent 
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

##Give following command to see that port 30053 is included in the list
sudo firewall-cmd --list-all --zone=public

7 - Configuring Planefinder Feeder:

In RHEL or Fedora computer, go to page localhost:30053 (or to IP:30053 from another computer) and add your sharing key, latitude, longitude.

.

8 - Useful Commands:

sudo systemctl status pfclient  
sudo systemctl restart pfclient  
sudo systemctl stop pfclient  

.

(B) FLIGHTRADAR24 DATAFEEDER

1 - Download and uncompress tarball “fr24feed_1.0.24-5_amd64.tgz”

sudo mkdir /usr/share/fr24 
sudo wget -O /usr/share/fr24/fr24feed_1.0.24-5_amd64.tgz "https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/linux_x86_64_binaries/fr24feed_1.0.24-5_amd64.tgz"
sudo tar xvzf /usr/share/fr24/fr24feed_1.0.24-5_amd64.tgz -C /usr/share/fr24
sudo cp /usr/share/fr24/fr24feed_amd64/fr24feed /usr/bin/

.

2 - Create configuration file “fr24feed.ini”

sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

.

3 - Copy-paste following code in the newly created blank file fr24feed.ini

receiver="beast-tcp"
host="127.0.0.1:30005"
fr24key=""

bs="no"
raw="no"
logmode="1"
logpath="/var/log/fr24feed/"
mlat="no"
mlat-without-gps="no"

use-http=yes
http-timeout=20

.

4 - Create user fr24 to run service

sudo useradd --system fr24

.

5 - Create Service file fr24feed.service

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/fr24feed.service

.

6 - Copy-paste following code in newly created blank file fr24feed.service

[Unit]
Description=Flightradar24 Feeder
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
LimitCORE=infinity
RuntimeDirectory=fr24feed
RuntimeDirectoryMode=0755
ExecStartPre=-/bin/mkdir -p /var/log/fr24feed
ExecStartPre=-/bin/chown fr24 /var/log/fr24feed
ExecStart=/usr/bin/fr24feed
User=fr24
PermissionsStartOnly=true
StandardOutput=null
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

.

7 - Enable and start fr24feed service

sudo systemctl enable fr24feed
sudo systemctl restart fr24feed

Failed attempt to build piaware linux binary from source-code on Red Hat (RHEL)

What have I done wrong?

git clone https://github.com/flightaware/piaware.git
cd piaware 
mkdir build && cd build 
sudo cmake ../

Piaware still fails, wants Tcllauncher1.10

.

Next I re-built and re-installed tcllauncher after giving this command

$ cd tcllauncher 
$ git checkout v1.10

Piaware still FAILS, wants Tcllauncher1.10 :angry:

FWIW, the standard build of piaware uses tcllauncher 1.8 (I wouldn’t expect any problems with 1.10, though, piaware_builder just hasn’t been updated to use a newer tag). The “can’t find package Tcllauncher” error means you have a build/install problem with tcllauncher somewhere; that package is part of tcllauncher (look for tcllauncher-support.tcl)

$ sudo find / -name tcllauncher-support.tcl

Noted the tclx files are installed in /usr/lib.
Tried to rebuild and reinstall in /usr/lib64 by using modified ./configure command
./configure --prefix=/usr/lib64
The command sudo make install again installed everything in /usr/lib. :angry:

I am having the same problem as you. Building on CentOS 7

$ piaware
application-specific initialization failed: can’t find package Tcllauncher exactly 1.10
can’t find package piaware
while executing
“package require piaware”
(file “/lib/piaware/main.tcl” line 10)
invoked from within
“source /lib/piaware/main.tcl”
(“uplevel” body line 1)

“uplevel #0 source $path”
from tcllauncher running “piaware”

currently stucked here too.

Although dump1090-fa is working OK and SkyView map is live and normally updating, this warning keeps popping up every 20~30 seconds. Anybody any thoughts?

lighttpd stat caching is the issue most likely.

Anyway, it is irritating, but not a big issue.

By the way, I think I have succeeded (almost) in running piaware, which was failing due to piaware / tclsh not finding tclx.

I was about to complete when in order to remove old copy of tcllauncher, by mistake I issued command
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib64
instead of
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib64/Tcllauncher1.10

After this any command I issue, I started getting
bash: sudo: command not found
bash: su: command not found
and RHEL wont login to root or abcd. :frowning:

I have now deleted its hard drive in VM (RHEL 8.1.vdi), created new HD and reinstalling it from DVD :cry:

Yep. This is why that the setting to disable the cache is there, unfortunately.

(The problem is that the file changes frequently and with the stat cache enabled, lighttpd will sometimes cache a file size that is smaller than the current actual file size, and end up sending only part of the file)

Oops…

OK, reinstalled RHEL, but now new problem.
While building & installing tclx, got error when issued make command.
This did not happen on previous install.

I imagined you had seen both lighttpd configuration files for dump1090-fa, one of them disables stat caching.
If you use that option the error should stop.
