    I have fed FR24 and Planeplotter from a Rpi2 for several years but plan to feed ADSB Exchange instead. I have a spare Pi zero so installed the ADSB-Exchange image on that but no Wi-Fi in spite of filling in wpa_supplicant.conf. Eventually found the solution which was to use "raspi-config" tool to setup Wi-Fi and other things.

    I ran the commands under "* Pi Zero W users ONLY" apart from those under "Grafana Dashboard Login" which had no explanation what to do with the commands.
    The system boots and the ADSB-Exchange test page says my setup is giving data. However there are errors and suggestion I run "systemctl status prometheus.service"

    This post is rejected if I include the error message!

    Any suggestions?

    Likely it's not really working.

    Really those notes shouldn't be there the pi zero doesn't work well with the image.
    Just disable prometheus and grafana-server.

    sudo systemctl disable --now prometheus
    sudo systemctl disable --now grafana-server

    The current image also doesn't work correctly on the pi zero due to an issue with librtlsdr, you'll need to replace it:

    That should get you going.
    Really you can feed whomever from the RPi2 and that's what i would recommend:

    Thanks that stopped the errors but did not seem to supply useful data. I reinstalled the image again on the SD card and used it on a Pi3 as a temp measure using an inside telescopic aerial and seems to be working! The Rpi2 running PiAware is using the main outside aerial at the moment. Will decide later to either install ADSB-Exchange software on the PiAware Rpi2 or replace it with the ADSB-Exchange image!
