I have already setup feeding FR24 on rpi2 and everything is working.
Can I use the RAW data from this rpi to another one running PiAware? I setup the FR24 with RAW data enabled on port:30002 and data feed port:30003
I’m asking as I have a number of RPIs already on the network doing other tasks and would like to keep FR24 and FA separate if possible. Is there is guide I could follow to achieve this?
Thank you for any advice.
This will transition you to a proper decoder (dump1090-fa instead of outdated dump1090-mutability).
Bundle install for dump1090fa · wiedehopf/adsb-scripts Wiki · GitHub
piaware requires beast data (port 30005)
After you run the script above, you can install piaware like this:
sudo apt install piaware
And you’re done.
FR24 will be reconfigured by the script to use data from 30005 as well.
This way even if FR24 crashes or w/e, you still have data.
Much more reliable this way.
Many thanks, I’ll take time to read up and digest and see if I can get it working this way.
Update:
I’ve run the linked script from github on pi-1 (already working with FR24) and it completed. Rebooted
On pi-2 I’ve installed piaware and rebooted.
So I need to do some troubleshooting, when I run piaware I see the following:

Is there some configuring I have yet to do?
Are you just running piaware from the command line? Don’t do that; it’s designed to be automatically started by a systemd service. It’s probably already running.
Try systemctl status piaware or look in /var/log/piaware.log.
Thank you, I rebooted both pi’s again and think its working now
pi@rpi3:~ $ systemctl status piaware
