I installed piaware 3.7.2. I did not want to install the sd card version. I already have a piaware setup via sd card install and all works well the last 3 years. The issue I am running into is flightaware status page will not load via the pi’s ip address. I have to go to ip:8080 just to get to my dump1090 page. Is there a way to fix this or is it only an option with the sd card image?
The top level status page is provided by the piaware-web package which is usually only installed on piaware sdcard images. You could try installing that package on a non-piaware-sdcard image but YMMV.
I have installed dump978-fa 3.7.2, dump1090-fa 3.7.2, and piaware 3.7.2 on Armbian Buster/OrangePiPC using package install.
The dump1090-fa map shows lot of planes (Station 76000).
I never saw a plane on dump978 map or on graphs by @wiedehopf, although the command sudo systemctl status dump978-fa and sudo systemctl status piaware show OK.
This is the error I receive when I try to sudo apt-get install dump978-fa
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dump978-fa : Depends: libsoapysdr0.5-2 but it is not installable
Recommends: skyaware978 but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: soapysdr-module-rtlsdr but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
IF your dump1090-fa and piaware are working ok, then no need to install them again.
(verify by sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa and sudo systemctl status piaware)
