Feeding to other than 30005

In the Custom feed - How to it says
Instead of feeding to the standard port on 30005, simply use port 51123, where 51123 is used as an example.
Can someone please tell me how to do this?

 

In the netcat_maint script .. or change the config in /boot for the piaware image

that custom feed server is going to be up and down this weekend for some maintenance FYI

 

All depends how you are feeding .. if you are using VRS just change the port in VRS from 30005

But fill out the form here, so we can avoid people connecting to the same port

"Once you have that up and running and you can see your traffic, fill out the form here to customize the name of the feed, and register your location if you want range rings and the “range splat” to be calculated. A range “splat” (see example) shows how far your receiver can see aircraft at various altitude. Different altitudes are represented by different colors."

 

so I've followed the above instructions but I dont see any traffic on my chosen port in custom feed view....

 

Hi MDA,

Thanks for getting back to me. This is not a new setup - I have been feeding ADSB and FA for over a year now, but I'm not at all confident my configuration is up to date. To answer your question directly I don't believe I have deliberately redirected 30005 to 39254 - how would I find out where this is set? And should I change it back to 30005?

EDIT: Just attached output from piaware-config -showall, if that helps?

Thanks

Nick

 

1090 Dump outputs on 30005 by default - unless config has been edited. You can htop, sudo apt install htop to install, and then see what runnings. F5 is tree, F6 is by command ....

Here is netstat for custom image .. no FA .. only ADSBx .. so look like that middle man port stuff is normal ...

Because all I do is nc 30005 | nc 51157

 

I'm sorry James - you are too many steps ahead of me - I am a real novice when it comes to UNIX/LINUX command line.

treat me like an idiot, assume I know nothing.

by the way, the root of all this is I am trying to prove whether I am getting my MLAT's "back" via ADSB - as I see local military traffic on my Dump1090 feed, which I am not seeing on ADSB Exchange - this confuses me, and I am pretty sure I've got too many or incorrect feeds setup on my RPI.

 

htop is a unix users best friend.

It's a cmd line taskmanager ...

sudo apt-get install htop

I don't feed FA but ... if you used the setup script for ADSBexchange then it should have installed it.

so htop .. when it loads hit F5 ... then use arrow keys and F keys menu on bottom .. CTRL C to quit

at any rate you can see whats running and what script spawned what in F5 mode

 

once you get comfortable ... sudo htop to run as root to kill processes if you need to ... these all start using root at boot

 

It's possible you're not MLAT with anyone on ADSBx - depends on your location - it's unlikely but possible. FA made everyone NOT forward their MLAT to anyone else - so if you see it locally on dump1090 and not on ADSBexchange ...

Check in the sync matrix on ADSBexchange.com

 

No I did NOT use the setup script for ADSB Exchange, and I assume this is where the issue is. I did it so long ago now I cant recall exactly what I did but I am running piaware 3.5.3, and I think I followed your old "install" instructions for feeding ADSB....

When I looked earlier at your new instructions I got worried cos the etcher wanted to wipe my SD, and I have other config (e.g. VRS) that I dont want to lose.

I have downloaded your new script to my laptop - How do I install it (without wiping the SD card!)

Thanks

 

Let me see if I can help, MDA might have more insight, all that script does is setup a few .sh scripts and download and install mlat client and setup a script to run it at boot and connect to adsbexchange

I have no idea what it will do to a not new install .. You are probably not feeding MLAT to adsbexhange

so ...

htop and post a screenshot? hit f5 to tree it up

so we can see whats running ...

 

installed htop - output attached

 

looks like your feeding to custom port 51008

 

And mlat is running ... I can't see the rest of the command .... but .... what did you name it and what zone are you in?

 

Yeah I checked that earlier today and didn't see anything that looked like my receiver, but I do see myself listed on the coverage MAP??

 

I havent named it anything yet cos I couldnt see my traffic on the custom feed view - should I just follow the rest of the instruction and rename?

EDIT: I am in Western Europe, UK

 

correct - i set this up, as per your instruction, but I do not see any local traffic on this custom view, using zCons-51008

EDIT - hopefully you can see more of the commands now - see attached
