I was trying to add the owner/operator info on my local tar1090, like the tar1090 used on global.adsbexchange. I pulled a copy of the aircraft.csv.gz from github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090-db/tree/csv. I updated the /boot/adsb-env file: DECODER_OPTIONS="--max-range 450 --db-file=/home/pi/aircraft.csv.gz" Then rebooted. Did an F5 refresh on the browser. service readsb status shows no errors. If it couldn't find the csv file there would have been an error. (yeah, wonder how I discovered that!) Still no owner/operator info. I checked several a/c and there is indeed owner/op info in the aircraft.csv file for those icao. I'm new to the adsbexchange image & tar1090 so this may be something simple that I've missed. TIA
That's not a feature i support for home installs. You can probably add --write-json-globe-index but that will change a lot of other behaviours and will use more memory.
Thank you. I will check it out and post the results back here in a few days in case others have the same question.
I added --write-json-globe-index in /boot/adsbx-env on the JSON-OPTIONS line, as you recommended. It worked! Owner/operator info is now appearing on the left when I click on an a/c. It's not obvious to me what other behaviours have changed, but it's only been running for a short while, so I may be surprised at some point. There still seems to be about 300MB of free memory so that's OK. There are about 85 a/c showing now, which is typical for this time of day so memory may increase later. I noticed a bunch of globe* files in /run/readsb so that may turn out to be an issue eventually. If anyone else wishes to add owner/operator info, follow the instructions in my first post, plus this one. Don't forget to make notes because you may have to re-apply the changes after an update. Thank you very much for your help! Much appreciated.
