FR24 update on installation ala Wiederhopf

Hello guys,

so I do run a triple feeder on a Pi, installed as stated here:

https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/Raspbian-Lite:-ADS-B-receiver

I do feed ADSBx, PiAware and FR24, and everything is running well for a long time.

Today I've got a message from FlightAware, that there is a new major version of PiAware, version 6.0

So I wen't the standart route as usual, sudo apt-get update / sudo apt-get upgrade and this got fixed automatically. PiAware is updated and running well.

Then I checked FR24, how actually they are doing. My version of the FR24 feeder is 1.0.26-9, exactly the version initially installed, when i started feeding, and named in the installation manual of Wiederhopf. The latest FR24 feeder software is 1.0.28-2.
So clearly, the sudo apt-get thing does update PiAware, but does not affect FR24.

On FR24 there is a command to update specifically: sudo apt-get upgrade fr24feed
Entering that, error occures - could not locate. So apparently, this method described by Wiederhopf does install FR24 correctly, but on a non standard location, I guess?

So, is there a possible command to update FR24 by command, without the need of reinstall and enter all needed config again, specifically for a installation made as said above?

Thanks in advance,

Mischa

 

So, the advice is not to update, I see. I get the idea... Thanks very much for the quick response.

So, there is no way, to update the engine only, passing all the scripts, which do change settings?

 

Thank you very much ;-)

 

And it worked.

It was clearly stated in your manual, I somehow overlooked, that install and update are the same command. Reading too fast ;-)

Thank you again!

The magic command was:

Code:

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/raw/master/fr24-nopackage.sh)"
