TL : DR RPi failed. Reinstated an old back-up, but stuff missing so re-installing. Looking to "custom feed" to ADSBx but having issues. Is there an install script that asks which port to use? ----- Hi all, Newbie to this forum. I have a Raspberry Pi that's currently feeding ADSB data to five places; Flight Radar 24, Flight Aware, RadarBox, Plane Finder and Radar Virtuel. My previous install was also (allegedly, I had no way of telling) feeding ADSBx too... But I've since been reading about a Custom Feed. Here is my scenario: I'd like to add "ADSBx with a Custom Feed" to my current setup. I don't want to download the pre-made PiAware image or the custom ADSBx feeder image, as that means I'd have to re-install all the other feeds, and that's a ball ache and time consuming when things go wrong and trying to fault-find. I know I can use the install instructions from the GitHub page to start feeding generically, but there doesn't seem to be a place during that install process for me to specify a "Pi Feeder Port" as per the instructions on the Custom Feed How To. I've tried modifying the GitHub install script, but I must be doing something wrong. I can see there's no data on port 51230 on the Custom Feed map, but the map doesn't update with my data with any of the GitHub install scripts I've tried. So the question is this: Is there an install script similar to the GitHub page that allows the Custom Feed port to be chosen at the install stage?
Solved. To wrap this thread up... I sent a message to a guy who created a GitHub script to install ADSBx feeding onto an existing set-up (Joe Prochazka). His original code didn't allow a user to specify a Custom Feed port. I asked him to add this to the code, and he did. So if you're not using any of the pre-installed images (available on this forum), you can add ADSBx feeding to your existing Raspberry Pi set-up, and also choose a Custom Port, by doing this: Code: sudo apt-get install git git clone https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-exchange.git cd adsb-exchange chmod +x setup.sh sudo ./setup.sh
Yup I added the updated Readme to our site. I left a message on his github but he never replies. I don' think he likes us.
James, Joe has been absent from several sites due to long term illness in his family that he has been taking care of and is just now getting back into his software. I don't think it's a case of not liking adsbexchange (but I could be wrong. lol)
I've sent several messages. If that's the case then I feel for him - but his latest code doesn't work. I did a few pull requests and sent a few emalls. We'd love to work with him, but sorry to hear he has had illness problems.
