Re-creating fresh piaware image

[kzisme]

I previously had a Pi running for many years and it recently stopped working.

I re-wrote the new piaware image from the guide here - the onlny “extra” thing I did was creating an empty ssh file in the root of the drive to enable ssh to the pi.

I also edited the config file with my wifi ssid and password (I see it connected when looking at my router as well)

I am able to see the Pi when visiting it’s IP address but I get all red with “PiAware doesn’t appear to be running!”

Is that guide/image still up to date or am I doing something incorrect?

EDIT:

When logging into my router I see two “piaware” IP leases…
192.168.1.129 - Old (why is it showing?)
192.168.1.225 - New

The new address was claim-able but also does not have MLAT or 1090 enabeled and doesn’t show my area/location on the map and also shows no flights.

Did you set your feeder-id?

I didn’t manually set it to the old one…I think it may have assigned me a new one…where/how am I able to find the old one? I only saw it for a moment on the claim page that I had two associated with my account. The two piaware hosts is confusing unless the SD Card re-write didn’t fully wipe something…

If you login into your account and you do have 2 feeder id’s it would be visible on your page.

I just checked and I can only see site 274226 associated to your account. The old Feeder ID should be visible when you are logged in.

With the remarks of the previous poster you should be able to replace the new feeder id with the old feeder id.

@kzisme :
Please see this post:

Based on above post by @obj, if you click following link, while logged in to your FA Accoun, and replacing FEEDERID by the long UUID assigned to ANY of your feeders, you will see following list. To claim & include in this list the newly created UUID and its assigned SITE number, you will have to click following link after replacing FEEDERID by the newly created receiver’s UUID.

To preserve my old stats do I have to use the old site information? I was able to successfully see the list and claimed my newly created site that was generated from re-writing the SD card.

I followed this post using my oldest siteID and restarted piaware but I still seem to be having some sort of issue…

On the /skyaware I’m not located in Italy and it seems like something isn’t wired up properly…

On the /skyaware I’m not located in Italy and it seems like something isn’t wired up properly…

Most likely the location (latitude and longitude) is not configured / incorrectly configured.

To check/set your location settings, while loggedin to your FA account, go to your My-ADSB page, and open settings page by clicking the gear icon, and set location there.

So, I went to check and it looked like piaware was down. I manually restarted it, updated the location information, and upon checking the IP address the location has not been updated and the log shows nothing.

Is that potentially because I changed the feeder-id on my pi to the OLD site-id (to try to preserve site data/stats?)

EDIT - When checking the UUID on my user account page shows my 2nd oldest site-id (not my oldest or my newest) - I tried updating to the UUID from my profile to see if it fixed it…it did not.

What are outputs of following commands?

sudo journalctl -u piaware -b | grep logged 

sudo journalctl -u piaware -b | grep site  

sudo journalctl -u piaware -b | grep feeder

On your My-ADSB page, do you see your first site listed? Please see attached screenshot showing drop-down list which shows all the sites.

 

[kzisme]

Those numbers at least match (which is more confusing):

Those numbers at least match (which is more confusing)

In your screenshot, the airport associated with 274226 is shown as KCAK

The ICAO code KCAK corresponds to the Akron–Canton Airport located in Green, Ohio, USA. This means you have set the latitude and longitude of Ohio, USA, and not of Italy.

Please issue following command which will reveal your latitude and longitude setting at your My-ADSB page.

sudo journalctl -u piaware -b | grep faup1090  

 

 

[kzisme]

That command returned nothing - here are some screenshots as well:

@kzisme

That command returned nothing - here are some screenshots as well:

(1) The missing output shows that either piaware is not installed, or if installed, is not running

@kzisme

(2) Your status page shown above has piaware entry, confirming piaware is installed.

So the conclusion is piaware is installed, but NOT running. Please first restart piaware, then check the location

sudo systemctl restart piaware 

Wait for few minutes, then issue following command

sudo journalctl -u piaware -b | grep faup1090  

If above command does not give any output, issue following command and post its output

sudo journalctl -u piaware -n 15

@abcd567

sudo journalctl -u piaware -n 15

[abcd567]

The dump1090-fa is NOT running.

Please issue following commands:

sudo systemctl restart dump1090-fa  

Wait for few minutes, then issue following command

sudo journalctl -u piaware -n 20

If above command gives “no adsb data program listening on port 30005”, then issue following command and post its output

sudo journalctl -u dump1090-fa -n 15
