I have a feeder that’s working great. There are several other packages and things running on the RasPi that’s running PiAware. I have cloned that RasPi’s SD card but, of course, any other RasPi running those cards comes up connecting to FlightAware as the primary Feeder instance.
How can get the clones to get their own Unique Identifier so that I can have multiple, similarly configured feeders that don’t “confuse” FlightAware? I’m hoping that there’s a config file somewhere that can be modified, or a config script to get them to a nascent state where they’ll ask FlightAware for an ID.
Thanks!
Step-1:
Delete the existing feeder-id from /etc/piaware.conf & /boot/piaware-config.txt by following command:
sudo piaware-config feeder-id ""
(No space betweeen two quotes “” in above command)
Step-2:
Delete feeder-id from /var/cache/piaware/ by following command
sudo rm /var/cache/piaware/feeder_id
Step-3:
IMPORTANT: Restart piaware for changes to take effect
sudo systemctl restart piaware
