Not seeing my 'craft on Global map

    For the past few weeks, I'm unable to see my 'craft on the global map. I'm uploading my data through my custom port... everything looks good in MLAT on adsbx's coverage map, as well as the mlat sync stats. ADSBX is receiving the data just fine. I've cleared the browser cache, tried several browsers, but none of my 'craft appear on the map ... count is zero.

    I'm not looking for the 'craft on the pc that is uploading the data. I'm using a seperate pc to access the 'net to see the map. I'm using the revised setup script that enables systemd rather than the rc-local method.

    Any tips on what to do so that I may view the 'craft pictorially on the remote pc?

    Here's more info. Why is the Total craft 0 when I'm connecting to between 45-55 peers?

    Is some process in linux on my end responsible for making my uploaded craft data available to the custom4.abxexchange map? If it is, what or where do I check in linux to make sure that command or process is enabled/working? I'd like to understand (not too technical) the way my uploaded data populates the custom map with my 'craft. Again, everything else if fine on the upload to adsbx except I can't see my craft when I select "ktb" on the custom map.

    VRS is a pile of shit.

    https://www.adsbexchange.com/myip/

    Check that .. then install this ..

    https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsbexchange-stats

    Code:
    cd /home/pi
    git clone https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsbexchange-stats.git
    cd adsbexchange-stats
    chmod +x install.sh
    sudo ./install.sh
    
    You'll see a link to ADSBx Stats.

    place uuid from stats url in url below

    http://www.adsbexchange.com/api/feeders/tar1090/?feed=<replace with uuid>

    I'm not sure what people's obsession with having to see their own data on ADSBx is. But VRS is a pile of shit and I'm tired of dealing with it. Use above and not customglobals.

    The "myip" check is fine except it says that I have a total of zero craft on my custom port when the mlat stats are fine. The third line on the gitub stopped me from doing anything more with the github stats program ... "This is installer only for FlightAware PiAware running ADSBexchange.com script install." I'm one of the few just using a linux pc running dump1090 and your script to upload to adsbx. I don't know if the above is do-able with my equipment situation.

    James, the pc running and uploading the data to adsbx is remotely located and I have no other way to see what and where the 'craft are that I'm uploading other than trying to view them from my home pc over the 'net. You have to admit it's no fun uploading data and not being able to watch the craft that your system is processing... even if only to see what range you are getting and the level of performance the system is operating at. That's kinda like paying to watch a movie at a theater and being given a pair of headphones in the lobby to just listen to the movies audio.

    Understood on not wanting to deal with vrs/customglobals anymore. I won't bother trying to make that work. If there's a way to use the adbsx stats github with the equipment I'm using you are mentioning I'll gladly do that.

    Put that on it. Then you can access from anywhere.

    Did someone here help you install linux machine?

    Ok on installing from that github page. I'll try it. MDA helped me awhile ago, enabling my linux notebook pc to feed adsbx.
