The service is probably disabled
Try sudo systemctl enable rbfeeder
followed by sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder
A reboot should not be required in between
Thanks. All works after reboot.
Hi,
i have a problem with Radarbox and MLAT, installed everything like in the instruction above but the box in the upper left oft the map show "Active (no Station synced) or Active an X Station synched or even nothing about MLAT in alternation.
Is this a normal behavior?

I run a raspberry and currently feed FA, RB, FR24 and ADS-B exchange. Is there a script for the raspberry with which I can also feed my data to planeradar.ru, vrs.mib.vrn.ru and vrs.russia.net? How can ein install their feed client?
Я управляю малиной и в настоящее время кормлю биржу FA, RB, FR24 и ADS-B. Есть ли скрипт для малины, с помощью которого я также могу скормить свои данные на planeradar.ru, vrs.mib.vrn.ru и vrs.russia.net? как я могу установить их клиент подачи? rgds
With modeSmixer
http://planeradar.ru/doc/
NOTE: In following configuration, the local data from port 30005 of dump1090, and mlat-results of Adsbexchange at port 30157 are used. If you are not feeding Adsbexchange, then delete the lines containing port 30157.
CASE-1: Feed from single Pi

sudo nano /usr/share/mm2/mm2.conf

Want to share my RadarBox MLAT story.
RPI4 user with MM2 feeding BaseStation, PlanePlotter, FlightAware, FlightRadar24 & PlaneFinder. A friend mentioned RadarBox was another option that was available. Installed RBFeeder, setup, all good, lets try MLAT - installed MLAT Client - problems. Couldn’t get it to work. Found this site and see an old friend ABCD has been active. Followed his instructions - still problems.
Fired off e-mail to RadarBox24 Support and received a quick reply to try this -
Installed required packages (dependencies and build tools)
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt-get install -y git curl build-essential debhelper python-dev python3-dev
Downloaded source code
cd /home/pi/
git clone GitHub - mutability/mlat-client: Mode S multilateration client
Built mlat-client’s installation package
cd /home/pi/mlat-client
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
Above command took some time to build package
After the package was built, installed it by following command
cd /home/pi/
sudo dpkg -i mlat-client_*.deb
Ran the various steps and started to see numbers in the MLATs messages box but the dreaded red MLAT Inactive sign still displayed. Fired off another e-mail to support and again another quick reply “No the indicator is incorrect, do not worry”.
Then this morning, like magic -
Happy little vegemite 
The Radarbox24 Support’s above reply is copy-paste of the method I posted 2 years ago in their forum on July 02, 2019

Thanks ABCD, my bad, should have done a more thorough search on the subject. It beggars belief why RadarBox themselves haven’t amended the script for their MLAT Client to avoid these extra steps. Thanks again, you are indeed a big help and supporter of our hobby.

No need to apologize @Kabe . It is impossible for anyone to dig out all the information scattered in many threads in large number of posts.
My reply was about the RB24 Support who did not bother to either give reference to my post, nor re-worded comment lines (starting with ##) which I have written using first person. Instead they simply-copy pated it.

Has someone (maybe @abcd567 
) meanwhile successfully built the rbfeeder on a Linux x64 system?
What i found in their support forum is the statement “not working”, but it’s a bit older
Tbey were forced to post their code as open source when @obj pointed out to them that under gpl licence, they cannot use dump1090 code as part of their rbfeeder package unless they make their source code an open-source.
However to compile their code, one needs 3 parameters specific to their servers, which they did NOT declare. Without these parameters, the code fails to compile.

I know there was something bad with them 
Please see rb24feed’s source code at Github/mutability.
They were forced to make their code open source to fullfil GPL licence requirement as they have started including dump1090-mutability source code into their rbfeeder.
“not so open” source code

Yes, that was the thread i have read here. But i thought it has been changed meanwhile
That’s why I stopped feeding them. Taking free source to make it commercial is a no-no in my book.

I remember a controversal discussion regarding RB24 in ADSBx Forum earlier…

I found out yesterday that the mlat-client for rbfeeder downloaded from radarbox using apt is still not any good for Buster.
I followed the instructions to compile it from source code that ABCD567 provided on the RB forum and it worked a treat.
Thank you ABCD.
