    Hi, I check the health of my tracker occasionally. And all seemed well for the longest time. But since a week or what I notice this state:

    However,

    I something wrong at my end?

    For those running into the same problem, it was two-fold
    • I am a dumbass for not understanding that synching with peers requires at least one aircraft being tracked by your tracker, otherwise there is nothing to synchronize
    • soft rebooting a Raspberry PI does not reset the USB device actually doing the tracking, so if (after months and months) something inside that thing crashes, the only way to reboot it is to actually pull the power from whole contraption (PI with flight tracker in USB port)
    After a few seconds waiting I powered up the PI, a few aircraft showed up on my dashboard, as well as 96 peers ;)

    Sync requires common ADS-B aircraft.
    If you're not receiving any then you won't get sync.

    Probably wouldn't hurt to switch to the current image if you have the time otherwise .. just let it continue as it is.

    If you get a stuck SDR again then it probably means your power supply is on the way out.
    Power issues can cause this type of issue of the SDR hanging.

    I've been feeding adsbx for a number of years, but never took much of an interest until I recently had to rebuild my station. Where did you check the health of your feeder and get those stats? Thanks.

    Thanks! As I said before, I didn't take much interest in adsbx when I started about five years ago because at that time it was not easy to see your results. Now they have quite a few pages with stats and maps if you know where to look.

    For some reason, when I try to reply to a post using the "reply' button I get a pop-up that says I can't post my reply because it's "spam-like".

    By the way, my feeder runs on a Debian box, along with Piaware, FR24 and PlaneFinder.

    Huh i don't quite see the relevance.
    Newer members can't use links ... spam protection is a must on forums sadly it's also quite restrictive.

    The sync from your screenshot looks fine, all good.
    Not sure when you installed but if you fancy you can also update the feed client:

    Probably you're on a current version though, just wanted to mention it.
