So the dump1090-fa has failed as you did not plugin the dongle into Computer (and if ubuntu is running in a VM, then you did not passed it through to the VM).

With usb dvbt dongle plugged into Computer (and passed-through to VM if Ubuntu is running in VM), give these commands, and post output of last command:

sudo killall dump1090-fa  

sudo systemctl restart dump1099-fa  

sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa

Despite these problems, I continued with the installation. Everything seems to be working properly. I see the application and the airplanes at my local address http://192.168.0.107:8080/.
When I run sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa, Status is already active (running)

Thank you so much for your help and your time!

Typo in the service name.

It was not @quetzalco’s fault. He copy pasted the command from my post which had the typo
