I think I did it?! Can anyone help me confirm if

I’m actually feeding data into the system?

I think this is the page for my stats?

Thanks!

p.s. How hard is it to also simultaneously feed data to adsbexchange?

yes, your feeder is working.

Feeding a second (or third, fourth, fifth) site is very simple. You can follow their guide using the script method, described on their site:

The ADSBx image is for people who want to start with an alternative image instead of Piaware. But you have it already running, so the script is the one you need.

Thx very much! I’ll give this a read. The FA instructions were great.

Great thread, thanks!

How about a script for Flight Aware installation?

Flight Aware? Never heard of it… :laughing:

It is so simple, it does not need a script, however just to comply to your request, do following:

NOTE:
This script is NOT for Piaware SD card image.
It is for Raspbian Image (Raspbery Pi OS 32-bit).

 

STEP-1
Create installation script file

sudo nano install-piaware.sh  

 

STEP-2
Copy-paste following code in newly created blank file install-piaware.sh
Save (Ctrl+o) and Close (Ctrl+x) he file

#!/bin/bash
wget https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/p/piaware-support/piaware-repository_3.8.1_all.deb   
sudo dpkg -i piaware-repository_3.8.1_all.deb  
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install piaware  
sudo piaware-config allow-auto-updates yes  
sudo piaware-config allow-manual-updates yes  
sudo apt-get install dump1090-fa  

GET_UUID(){
echo -e "\e[32mCopy-paste your Flightaware feeder-id and press Enter key \e[39m"
echo -e "\e[33mIf you dont have feeder id, press (Ctrl+C)keys to end \e[39m"

read UUID

UUID_CHAR=[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]
UUID_FORMAT=${UUID_CHAR}${UUID_CHAR}-${UUID_CHAR}-${UUID_CHAR}-${UUID_CHAR}-${UUID_CHAR}${UUID_CHAR}${UUID_CHAR}


if [[ ${UUID} =~ ^${UUID_FORMAT} ]]
then
   echo -e "\e[32mfeeder-id accepted \e[39m";
else
   echo -e "\e[31mfeeder-id incorrect format \e[39m";
   GET_UUID
fi
}

GET_UUID
echo "setting feeder-id"
sudo piaware-config feeder-id ${UUID}
echo "restarting piaware"
sudo systemctl restart piaware

echo -e "\e[32m=================================================== \e[39m"
echo -e "\e[32mInstallation of Piaware and dump1090-fa completed \e[39m"
echo -e "\e[32m=================================================== \e[39m"
echo -e "\e[31mRESTART YOUR Pi \e[39m"
echo -e "\e[31mRESTART YOUR Pi \e[39m"
echo -e "\e[31mRESTART YOUR Pi \e[39m"

 

STEP-3:
Make the script file executable and run the script

sudo chmod +x install-piaware.sh 
./install-piaware.sh
