looking in your repositories I found tar1090-db, can you help me? how do i install it? (there is no wiki / readme)
It’s just the aircraft database for tar1090. Separate repository so the tar1090 repo doesn’t get as big.
Nothing to install.
If it doesn’t have a readme … i likely won’t provide support for the repository.
First I’d like to say thanks for creating graphs1090 and tar1090. Something that has me confused (easy to do) is when I access the SkyAware page locally I use the address of http://192.168.1.45:8090/ but when I access the tar1090 page the address is http://192.168.1.45/tar1090/. What happened to the port number? I want to be able to make the page available remotely so I need the port number so I can configure my router. What web server is used here?
Thanks, Max
If the port number is missing then the default port number is used.
http default port is 80
https default port is 443.
But I had changed the port to 8090 in the web server config. It should not be responding to requests on port 80.
If you changed the port 8080 to 8090, you still have port 80 serving stuff at /dump1090-fa and so on.
Anyhow tar1090 by default now also shows on another port, see the readme:
GitHub - wiedehopf/tar1090: Provides an improved webinterface for use with ADS-B decoders readsb / dump1090-fa
Note that lighttpd is stupid and will also server /dump1090-fa at :8504/dump1090-fa.
Thanks, I wasn’t aware that both ports (in my case 8090 and 80) would work. I thought that changing the port would do just that, change the port, but you’re saying that it adds a new port to the existing port, correct?
Thanks, Max
Well it depends which port you change.
The default FA setup has port 80 for all the pages and port 8080 extra.
By default lighttpd only listens on 80.
dump1090-fa adds 8080
tar1090 add 8504 (because ppl like ports and i was tired to say it doesn’t have it)

Thanks for your help.

Just thought I would say that I’ve seen tar1090 on ADSBX today and it looks and works great.
Very nice job @wiedehopf!

Well, get it for your own receiver, that’s what this thread is about 
If you’re somewhat determined, you can even run the “server version” which has quite a different backend (you might have noticed the history section in the aircraft details) GitHub - wiedehopf/tar1090: Provides an improved webinterface for use with ADS-B decoders readsb / dump1090-fa

Hi guys,
I have successfully installed tar1090 and graphs1090 and running without any problem, almost for a month.
Now I have decided to access my map and graphs outside from the local network, so I have a host: “example.com”, I have set by the domain provider my IP address with “A” record, and create a subdomain with “CNAME” record, “graphs.example.com”.
Now I want if I open in browser my domain, “example.com”, then the tar1090 page is shown and if I open “graphs.example.com” than the graphs1090 page is shown.
I have struggling a week or so to put these together but I do not really understand how these things are working, I am not a Unix guru.
I have put this in lighttpd.conf:
$HTTP["host"] == "example.com" {
server.document-root = "/var/www/tar1090/"
}
$HTTP["host"] == "graphs.example.com" {
server.document-root = "/var/www/graphs1090/"
}
The server document root is set to in lighttpd.conf
server.document-root = "/var/www"
Now if I open “example.com” or “graphs.exampls.com” the “tar1090-webroot” page is shown ( i have also configured the webroot instance.
Of course, if I open “example.com/tar1090” or “example.com/graphs1090” the correct page is shown.
Could you please help me? Or is it out of the scope of this thread?
This is kind of out of the scope of this thread but I think you need to do a URL redirection. You might find what you need here: https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs_ModRedirect

Sorry for this off topic question, you helped me a lot, I could solve it with redirect.

With “ENABLE_978=yes”
When I go to tar1090 the Skyaware978 data shows up on the map. Then 60 sec later they all vanish. A CTRL-F5 will restore them and then 60 sec later gone.
What am I missing that will allow the Skyaware978 data to keep refreshing/tracking.
Just checked on a dual install and it’s working fine.
Is it 978 only?
You can check F12 and select the console, make a screenshot.
Then go to the network tab and make another screenshot.
I mean … meh.
It’s on the same pi as the skyaware?
Just make it use the source directory directly instead via the 978 thing.
/run/skyaware978 tar1090
Like that in the instances file, then reinstall.
Disable 978 in the config file.
Hi Wiedehopf,
Like many others, I would like to thank you for tar1090, graphs1090, your major contribution to the current version of airspy_adsb, and all of the other helpful material in this forum. It has made setting up and using my site much easier and more enjoyable than would otherwise have been the case.
I have a question about Track Labels in tar1090. With a single aircraft selected, and track labels turned on, I occasionally see the track labels begin to flash when the zoom level is increased. The screen shot below and the one in my following post (I am only allowed to post one image) are from a screen recording of this happening - they are about one second apart:
The flashing is actually caused by alternate display of two sets of labels. Those from 300 to 3925 feet are “static” because they are common to both sets of labels, but the higher altitudes are for different points in the track. I have a third screen shot (not posted) from about a second later which shows the first set of tables displayed again.
The issue seems to be intermittent - with limited testing, it survives restarts of tar1090 and reboots. I’m able to reproduce it, but only on some jets on descent. Apologies if you were already aware of this, or if it is intended behaviour. I’ve read right through the tread, and didn’t see any reference to it. My version of tar 1090 is one commit behind your latest (HEAD is now at 0d26d6f disable localStorage for noMLAT) - RasPI 4 running latest Buster.
On a possibly unrelated note, I notice in htop and systemctl status tar1090, that I have two tar1090 sub-processes with different sleep intervals of 8 seconds and 10 seconds. Is this normal?
Thanks, John
