I CAN'T INSTALL RBFEEDER ON MY Pi24 RASPBERRY

[medlege]

Oh so they did update their pi24 image. (I should be nicer to FR24 :) )

Is the updated image the one where it mounts read-only?
Or was that one of the past iterations?

It was the version I installed in 2016 the day I activated my feeder

I see that you are not using the latest version and don't have it set for MLAT on RB24

Hi!

How do you see that ?
How to have it set for MLAT please ?

Thanks

So the best solution is to start from a new fresh installation containing stretch.

Best option is option 2 of bake a pi thread: Raspbian image with dump1090-fa (due to its very nice map).

I have Raspbian Stretch + dump1090-mut 1.15~dev on RasPi, and  Armbian Stretch + dump1090-fa on OrangePi. Both Pis have following feeders installed:

- Radarbox24
- Flightradar24
- Flightaware
- Planefinder
- OpenSky network

I am advised to get the latest build of the RB24 feeder and set it for MLAT

run "apt-get update -y; apt-get install mlat-client -y; reboot" then setup the Lon and Lat in your station id profile and then will be MLAT ready

Yes abcd567 !! You are right !!

If I choose option 2 I will have to follow all the steps strictly for each feeder also concerning FR24 for example to be sure to set all the good parameters !!
I will read carefully all the thread before I do anything.
I've been on Flightaware site. There is a link for jessie users but it is clearly advised to:
"It is highly recommended that you upgrade to the latest Raspbian Stretch OS to gain the full benefits of PiAware"

OK we will see !

Installed and running.

Good morning to everyone !

Please can you help me to free some space on my Pi ?
Prior to install Planefinder this morning, I add a message error no free space on disk.
What package can I remove to free some space on the Pi ?
I already made:
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean

Here attached a screenshot.
I really don't understand why I have those poor results ! I have a 8G micro sd card although...
Or Pi24 do not consider the size of the micro SD ?!?!

Thanks again a lot.

Hello to all of you.
Please I need your help.

In March I successfully installed Radarbox24 / Flightaware / Planefinder on my Flightradar24 Raspberry Pi and it was working really so great without any trouble !
But since a few days now I have a big problem but only with Radarbox24...
Indeed, if Radarbox24 is online then all the 3 others (Flightradar24 / Flightaware / Planefinder) are not working any more (0 planes tracked or uploaded).
And if Flightradar24 / Flightaware / Planefinder are working fine, then Radarbox24 is offline. I don't know why it suddenly happened like this.

So please can you help me to just uninstall Radarbox24 and after that to re-install it again on the Pi.

I will then re-enter my mail in order to keep my radar name and code reloaded again.
Maybe it will fix this issue and work again fine as it use to...

Thanks a lot in advance for your kind help.
Waiting for your instructions please...

Open file rbfeeder.ini

Code Select Expand


sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini



Check that network_mode is set to true
See below in red color

[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log
key=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
sn=EXTRPI000nnn

[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1

[medlege]

Hello abcd567,

Here is a screenshot when I type the code:
sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini
I can't find the network mode...

What should I do ?

Thanks a lot.
Regards.

[wiedehopf]

copy and save your SN and key

Then use the configuration abcd posted above.
Adjust SN and key so it's yours.

[medlege]

Hello wiedehopf !

Excuse me I did not understand...
As I told you, when I type the code "sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini" as abcd567 said, I can't find the network mode...
My rbfeeder is still not working...

Thanks in advance for your help.

[abcd567]

What wiedehopf has told you is to copy-paste the missing lines into the window whose screenshot you have posted. That is an easy thing to do.

Alternatively you can add the missing lines by following method also:

Give following 4 commands one by one:

Code Select Expand


sudo rbfeeder --set-network-mode on --no-start   

sudo rbfeeder --set-network-host 127.0.0.1 --no-start   

sudo rbfeeder --set-network-port 30005 --no-start   

sudo rbfeeder --set-network-protocol beast --no-start   



After above 4 commands you must restart rbfeeder by following command:

Code Select Expand


sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder   




After restart, give following command and post what you see.

Code Select Expand


sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini
