As Piaware image is built using Jessie Lite image (stripped down), the method shown on these pages for Raspbian Lite & Jessie Lite may also work for Piaware image also.
I have NOT tried these, so cannot tell anything with surety.
The method using Local_IP_NUMBER:8080 works from outside the internal network if the port 8080 is added to the router’s forwarding rules, to redirect incoming packets to the Local_IP number.
The IP is replaced with the Internet (external) IP: External_IP_NUMBER:8080
after all installations complete run sudo raspi-config and select 3 Boot Options.
in boot options select B1 Desktop / CLI .
in the new tab select B4 Desktop Autologin Desktop GUI
reboot and now the LXDE desktop will appear on your HDMI monitor.
run Midori (web browser) and try the url 127.0.0.1:80 or 8080 or dump1090-fa, to view the map.
Greetings,
Can somebody help me in configuring my router so that i can view FlightFeeder Skyview map from outside of my local network, like on my cellphone when i am not at home. I am very new to this and i tried port forwarding in my router with following settings but it didn’t work.
SERVICE PORT: 8080
INTERNAL PORT: 8080
IP ADDRESS: 192.168.0.100 (FLIGHTFEEDER’s IP)
STATUS: ENABLED
I tried on my cellphone by typing my ISP IP address (183.82.66.77:8080) but it didn’t work. I have TP-Link router and FlightFeeder 7.7.1.
Thank you for the reply. Do I just type in the commands you mentioned at my Rasberry Pi? When you say install the GUI, does it need to be downloaded from somewhere else or already there?
The goal for me is to have the Skyview Map on all the time, so my kids can see planes outside, run back in, and learn about the airplane. This is so I don’t have to use my regular computer to do this.
So I got a new monitor dedicated to my Rasberry Pi. Then I realized that it only shows the terminal command window not the map. So I’m trying to see if my Rasberry Pi can do both tracking the flights and showing the map to the monitor I got.
That’s literally all I did. Ran each command, one at a time (it takes a while to complete the final command as that’s what actually does the work) to install the gui and once I’d done it and rebooted, I was able to log on to the graphical user interface and run a browser.
As I said, I’ve done this on the ‘lite’ version of Raspbian and it works perfectly well.
I just updated piaware to 3.7.2 and skyview is still out. No other configuration changes; skyview vitual radar worked until very recently with piaware 3.7.1. I have received auto generated fault messages from skyview suggesting a dump 1090 failure and used the reboot command several times. New flash is my next option. Ideas?

Hi wiedehopf! What is the expected output that this will generate from the raspberry? I don't want to ignore your generous advice, but my station is in a bit of an out-of-the way location. It is supposed to be "set and forget" so there is work involved in just pulling the sd card, much less using the interface quickly lol.

That means your network connection to the device is very slow.
Which also explains the timeout message.
Could be that it’s overheating?
Or the WiFi is just REALLY bad.
Try another WiFi channel or re-orient the Raspberry Pi, WiFi reception often gets better depending on RPi orientation.
