PiAware 8.2 Crashing

I recently upgraded my site from 7.2 to 8.2 The site is crashing every couple of hours now. I going to rebuild the SD card from scratch and see if I can get it stable. This is after an 82 day streak of uptime since I first installed this site on version 7.2

Has anyone else run into issues with 8.2? Any fixes out there. I can’t find anything in the log file that helps me.

Are you using the SD card image or a package add-on ?

What doe the logs tell you, is it restarting by itself of is it completly stopping ?

Yes I am using the SD Card Image.

Log before it just crashed.

can you post the output of the following command ? that might give more insight since there are no things in the piaware log that seem to be wrong

sudo journalctl -eu dump1090-fa

I would be happy to except I have not learned yet how to access the console of my Raspberry 2 W yet. Can you recommend a way to access the Raspberry such as telnet or some thing like that. I do not have a display or keyboard attached.

Thanks in advance

It’s probably worth asking whether someone’s desktop computer is a Mac or Windows PC before you just throw PuTTY out as a solution. While Windows doesn’t support SSH natively from its command line, MacOS does, and doesn’t require additional software to be downloaded or installed.

The title of thread clearly specifies “Setup Putty in Windows”.
If user is not using Windows, he will simply ignore this guide.
I dont believe any user can be so dumb that even after reading “Windows” in the title as well as inside the guide, he will try to use the guide for Mac.

Curious, without console access to the Pi how did you upgrade from 7.2 to 8.2?

abcd567 sent instructions for console access via Windows, if you have Linux or Mac then just ignore the putty reference.

Actually, since the April 2018 update to Windows 10, it does.

You are right that SSH can be done on Windows without PuTTY, but the guide I posted has two parts
(1) Enabling SSH on RPi
(2) installing PuTTY on Windows.

The item (2) can now be done throgh Windows terminal but item (1) is stll valid.

In addition to SSH, the PuTTY can perform many other functions as well, one of these shown in thread linked below. I dont know if Windows terminal can do these as well.

Exploring Port 30003 and 30106

 

PuTTY is using the telnet protocol in that link.

Telnet has been a built-in component of Windows at least since Windows 3.1.1.

From that point through Windows XP, Telnet was enabled by default. Since it’s an insecure protocol, and will pass any provided credentials in clear text, it was disabled by default starting with Windows 7. It can easily be added back in (though not necessarily recommended) to Win7, Win8, Win10, and Win11 (and all comparable server versions since Server 2008) by using the “Add/Remove Components” tool in Windows. Note that there are separate options for enabling telnet client and telnet server. You would want the client option.

Once enabled, the “port exploring” described at the link could be accomplished by just opening a command prompt and typing

telnet <server name or IP> port
telnet 192.168.0.42 30003

This would stream any activity at that port to your console window (stdout). End the connection by hitting ctrl+c

If you wanted to save the output to a file, just add a greater-than symbol and a file name

telnet 192.168.0.42 30003 > PortOutput.txt

Or use a double greater-than to append the output to an existing file: (and create that file if it doesn’t exist)

telnet 192.168.0.42 30003 >> PortOutput.txt

Nice thing about not using PuTTY is that you don’t have to create a “connection”, and sift through a bunch of options that have a purpose but mostly aren’t required for simple things like this.

Interestingly, telnet was completely removed from MacOS some time ago, and can only be utilized by installing or compiling 3rd party software (there is even a port of PuTTY for Mac).

 

Thanks for the detailed information about telnet with Windows command prompt. Actually I have used it, but now forgot about it. If you scroll down to end of that thread, you will find my post in which I have shown how to use Windows command prompt to explore port 30003 using telnet.

 

Hmmm - I was going to post a note that I set the command to update to 8.2 and it’s not happening. I’m seeing a bunch of 404 messages. Can I assume the version I’m running is too old to upgrade using the online update option? Victor Engel ADS-B Feeder Statistics - FlightAware

Correct, we’ve ended support for Jessie OS. We recommend you follow this to upgrade and reclaim your existing site

OK. Thanks for the link. Looks like it will need to wait until the weekend, partly because the ladder I need to access the RPi is otherwise taken. I’ve had some recent unexpected outages that recovered after a few hours of doing nothing. Is that likely to be my RPi wearing out or an incompatibility of some sort causing issues?

Your PiAware powered off and back on a few hours ago, so power related issues is my guess (assuming you didn’t reboot it intentionally)

My internet was knocked out this morning during an online meeting I had. I didn’t notice a power cycle at the same time, but there might have been. I noticed another down time on the 16th for several hours. I tried rebooting by unplugging and replugging the extension cord, but that didn’t do anything. It’s possible there’s a loose power connection in the attic. I’ll take a look the next time I can get up there.
