new config... need advice

I've started using the -fa version of dump1090 instead of an old Malcolm Robb version to feed adsbx, and hopefully not FA. Looking at "my-ip", it seems different since the change. Attached is a screenshot. Does it look ok as far as ports, etc?

Feeding adsbx, using a pc and not a pi.

Note: Total aircraft zero in spite of many decodes on mlat stats.
...another problem. dump1090-fa installation broke the "localhost:8080" connection to the map on the pc. I don't know what the new localhost address is to see 'craft on the map.

 

dump1090-fa is FlightAware. Of course it broke your setup.

I have no idea what you are using a PC when a Pi costs 0.40 in power a month and just works.

 

Custom feeds is likely broke anyway.

James, understood about the pi... it "just works". I had a Eee-pc notebook that no longer had a purpose. It was just gathering dust, so I thought I'd get it going on adsb... saving money on hardware as well as giving an unused pc something to do. I'll run the stats program, sounds like it's what's needed.

Weidehopf, thanks for the commands and the link. I'll give it a try.

 

Ahh .. that might work ...

The problem is you installed FA software and it tries to take over your shit.

 

Weidehopf, I installed the readsb fork of dump1090 from github and am feeding adsbx with it. I'd like to cleanly uninstall dump1090-fa, but when using the usual method of apt purge, I get the "unable to locate package dump1090-fa". Since it was installed without a package manager, synaptics can't find it either. Any Ideas?

 

this command will hopefully tell you where it resides.

Code:

which dump1090-fa

 

When entering that text string at the ~$ prompt, it outputs nothing James. Just goes back to the command prompt.

 

I built it from this link: https://github.com/adsbxchange/dump1090-fa
I started it from a command prompt in its directory and used a parameter string of arguments.
yes, it's no issue if it's not running but there sure are lots of folders and files I don't need.
I built readsb from this link: https://github.com/wiedehopf/readsb
when I built readsb, it didn't remove all the -fa stuff.

 

Also, the systemctl command gave this output: failed to disable unit: Unit file dump1090-fa.service does not exist.

 

I used this: ... git clone https://github.com/wiedehopf/readsb.git... from the link I mentioned, then used "dpkg-buildpackage -b --build-profiles=rtlsdr" to build it. I assume it's a debian build because that's what the github page link said. Anyway, it's working to feed adsbx (using the adsbx script install).

So I guess I'll just delete every file/folder that pertains to dump1090-fa I can find if there was nothing installed in the compiling.

 

I'll give them a try, and thanks for your help.
