Updating jprochazka/adsb-receiver project with new 3.7.1?

[nhurvitz]

Does this 3.7.1 announcement apply to those who are not feeding with the PiAware image? If it does can anyone shed some light on how to update it?

[mgrout]

All the experts must be asleep, so here is what a non-expert did.
I updated mine yesterday, everything, system, mut & portal, but you could just run ./install.sh
In the window “Feeder Installation Options” FlightAware PiAware will have (update), select this option and away you go.

[wiedehopf]

I wouldn’t install or update dump1090-fa and piaware with adsb-receiver at all and if anything use it only for the extra functions.
adsb-receiver tries compiling the stuff and that for dump1090-fa can produce some errors.

Installation of the packages is described here:
PiAware - dump1090 ADS-B integration with FlightAware - FlightAware

Updating the packages on Raspbian should be as easy as:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

might need this

sudo apt dist-upgrade

If it doesn’t get upgraded as you like with the other command.

Note also that you have to install it via the method linked above, not via adsb-receiver for updates with apt. (Otherwise the flightaware package repository is not installed)

This wont work on boards with architecture other than armhf.

The beauty of installation by J Prochazka’s adsb-receiver projects is that it can install dump1090-fa and Piaware on different types of boards and PC.

Yeah that’s indeed correct.

Does it work already with 3.7.1?
Is there still the problem with bladeRF?

[nhurvitz]

I tried that first but it was not listed as an option after the system updates and menu presentation. I will try wiedhopfs suggestion and see if that does it

[abcd567]

@wiedehopf

Does it work already with 3.7.1?
Is there still the problem with bladeRF?

Have not used JP’s script lately, so cannot tell. I vaugly remember that I saw something on github indicating JP has fixed bladeRF issue, but not sure.

This weekend, I will write Stretch Lite on a spare microSD card, and try JP’s script to find out the status.

[abcd567]

JP’s SCRIPT FAILS TO INSTALL dump1090-fa.

JP’s script builds dump1090-fa ver 3.6.3, then tries to install ver 3.7.1, and fails.

WORKAROUND

(1) First execute following 3 commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-receiver.git ~/adsb-receiver

.

(2) Next carry out following workaround for dump1090-fa
sudo nano ~/adsb-receiver/bash/decoders/dump1090-fa.sh

1. Ctrl+w, type git pull, press Enter key. Cursor will jump to:
   git pull
   Below this line, add following lines:
   cd ~/adsb-receiver/build/dump1090-fa/dump1090
   git checkout v3.7.1
   cd ~/adsb-receiver

2. Ctrl+w, type git clone, press Enter key. Cursor will jump to:
   git clone https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090.git
   Below this line, add following 3 lines:
   cd ~/adsb-receiver/build/dump1090-fa/dump1090
git checkout v3.7.1
cd ~/adsb-receiver

Save (Ctrl+o) and close (Ctrl+x)

.

.

(3) Next carry out following workaround for Piaware
sudo nano ~/adsb-receiver/bash/feeders/piaware.sh

1. Ctrl+w, type git pull, press Enter key. Cursor will jump to:
   git pull
   Below this line, add following lines:
   cd ~/adsb-receiver/build/piaware_builder
git checkout v3.7.1
cd ~/adsb-receiver

2. Ctrl+w, type git clone, press Enter key. Cursor will jump to:
   git clone https://github.com/flightaware/piaware_builder.git
   Below this line, add following 3 lines:
   cd ~/adsb-receiver/build/piaware_builder
git checkout v3.7.1
cd ~/adsb-receiver

Save (Ctrl+o) and close (Ctrl+x)

.

(4) Last execute the following commands:

cd ~/adsb-receiver
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

.

Already posted how to update to 3.7.1 using script

ADS-B Receiver Project Setup Scripts

Thanks Oliver. Like I said, I need to investigate GitHub a bit more. Figured out how to get that version using the install script. Also realised that I was not pulling the latest version of Piaware. In ~/adsb-receiver/bash/decoders/dump1090-fa.sh, search for "git clone! and add “–branch v3.7.1” Note that is two dashes before the “branch”. You should end up with: git clone --branch v3.7.1 GitHub - flightaware/dump1090: Dump1090 is a simple Mode S decoder for RTLSDR devices Do the same…

Thanks for pointing to your workaround in adsb-receiver thread.
Somehow I have missed it.

You have added --branch v3.7.1 to git clone command, whereas I have left git clone commansd as is, and used git checkout v3.7.1 as independent command immediately after git clone. Both your and my methods are OK.

Your workaround will work with a FRESH install of adsb-receiver project, but if upgrading an existing install by re-running existing ./install.sh, the install.sh script will detect that source-code is already existing, and it will NOT use git clone --branch v3.7.1 . It will use git pull, which will update existing code for version 3.6.3, and not for 3.7.1

This is the reason that in my workaround, I have added git checkout v3.7.3 at two locations, one immediately after git clone and other immediately after git pull

[idh]

@abcd567

Yes it was just a workaround. I needed v3.7.1 but no one else had provided an answer so had to google for a fix. Looks like your approach is a better long-term method so why didn’t you find it sooner?

I like using this script for my Orange Pi since it builds everything for me BUT unless I include the portal with graphs, I don’t get any Skyview output - no dump1090*.php anywhere. Hence cannot use the grpahs by @wiedehopf

[wiedehopf]

@idh

Skyview output

Installling dump1090-fa should suffice as long as you have a fresh image.
The portal screws around with lighttpd configuration files so once installed it’s somewhat annoying.
Just compile dump1090-fa and piaware manually, it’s not that complicated.

Next time you have the problem just shout and we can try to find out what’s going on.

I like using this script for my Orange Pi since it builds everything for me

I use JP’s script for non-arm machines (e.g. x64_x86, i386 etc), and other than Debian based OS (like Ubuntu etc) as the pre-built packages are not available for these architectures.

Since both the RPi and OrangePi PC have arm cpu, and both Raspbian Stretch and Armbian Stretch are Debian based, I use the pre-built package available.

I have created a bash script more than a year ago for my personal use. I have been using it for package install on RPi and OPiPC.

I used to compile them manually - just got lazy.

Had a look at the portal install script to try to figure out what it was doing. It installs php, php-cgi and php-json. Did that manually but something still wrong - phpinfo.php gives a 403 error.

I’ll ditch this effort and install manually.

I like the ability to uninstall your graphs. The OrangePi has been locking up at intervals - still pings but no remote access. One of the logs before the crash mentioned “rrd: illegal attempt to update using time xx”. TIme differences seemed to be the problem even though ntp is running and getting the time. Whether that really was the problem, being able to run two systems, one with graphs, one without may confirm the problem (or not!).

[idh]

@abcd567

Since both the RPi and OrangePi PC have arm cpu, and both Raspbian Stretch and Armbian Stretch are Debian based, I use the pre-built package available.

I didn’t realise that!!!

I’ll give that a go.

[wiedehopf]

@idh

One of the logs before the crash mentioned “rrd: illegal attempt to update using time xx”.

That shouldn’t affect the system itself.
It’s just shown when you restart collectd for example or the time is indeed being changed.

In my post above, I have added script for dump1090-mutability. It has now two scripts:

(1) DUMP1090-FA + 5 FEEDERS + GRAPHS
(2) DUMP1090-MUTABILITY + 5 FEEDERS + GRAPHS
