I have a FlightFeeder, and recently got a new Pi. I am feeding to other leading sites like FR24, RadarBox etc by hearing on Port 30005 of FlightFeeder. Recently I tried to get FlightFeeder software on my Pi. Sadly it doesn’t work as It tries to hear for beast data on localhost. Isn’t there any way to configure the software to listen to IP and port of FlightFeeder? I’m doing this for learning and experiencing something new. Kindly Help.
Thanking You All!
Why you want to install Flightfeeder software on RPi?
If you want to feed Flightaware as a 2nd station, using data from Flightfeeder on port 30005, install piaware datafeeder on Pi, and configure it to get data from Flightfeeder.
STEP-1: install piaware data feeder on RPi
wget https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/p/piaware-support/piaware-repository_3.8.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i piaware-repository_3.8.0_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install piaware
sudo piaware-config allow-auto-updates yes sudo piaware-config allow-manual-updates yes
STEP-2: configure piaware data feeder
sudo piaware-config receiver-type other
sudo piaware-config receiver-port 30005
sudo piaware-config receiver-host 192.168.0.21
## NOTE: in above command, replace 192.168.0.21 by
## your Flightfeeder's actual local IP
sudo systemctl restart piaware
STEP-3: Check Status
sudo systemctl status piaware
STEP-4: Claim your new Station
After step-3 above shows that piaware is running ok, claim your new station.
To claim, login to your Flightaware account from a computer on same network as RPi, and go to this page:

If you want an independent receiver on RPi, you will need a separate antenna and an exclusive receiver for RPi.
The most economical and popular receiver+antenna combo is DVB-T stick with whip antenna. It is a good starter, but gives limited performance.
If you want a better performance, then purchase Flightaware ProStick Plus, and the Flightaware 26 inch 1090 mhz antenna.
Thanks for your reply and way. I want to learn something by doing this on rpi…
