I’m sure I used to be able to restart readsb or reboot my rpi without losing my actual range outline but cannot for the life of me remember how to set this. I have the number of hours set to 3600 in /etc/default/readsb but each time I restart readsb for whatever reason or reboot the pi then I lose the outline and it starts aggregating all over again. I’m using a RPi5 with the latest (last week) Raspbian Desktop and the latest readsb and tar1090/graphs1090.
Can any one shed some light please?
I’ve been happy running the ADSB.im image, where everything just works (including range rings), and I don’t have to mess around with software configurations - it feeds FlightAware out of the box.
I have the same question, although mine is an all new setup. Range rings persist, they are in the tar1090 config, but the outline of actual range of received signals comes from readsb, and I can’t see how to make it survive through a restart.
I still havent found a solution for this.

Add this to /etc/default/readsb:
--write-state-only-on-exit --write-state /var/globe_history
run these:
mkdir -p /var/gobe_history
chown readsb /var/globe_history
systemctl restart readsb
that should do it.
