Automated Installation of Dump1090-Mutability, Data Feeders, and Performance Graphs

abcd567:

The installation process still gets stuck. Running your command led to the following message:


Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
Probieren Sie »apt-get -f install«, um dies zu korrigieren:
Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
python-dev : Hängt ab von: libpython-dev (= 2.7.9-1) soll aber nicht installiert werden
Hängt ab von: python2.7-dev (>= 2.7.9-1~) soll aber nicht installiert werden
rtl-sdr : Hängt ab von: librtlsdr0 (= 0.5.3-3) aber 0.5.4~git-1 soll installiert werden
E: Unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten. Versuchen Sie »apt-get -f install« ohne Angabe eines Pakets (oder geben Sie eine Lösung an).


Let me know if I better set my Raspberry to English.

Thanks for reminding about @, and posting screenshot of eurolocke's post which got blocked due to use of @.

eurolocke:
Try following command to overcome the broken installation of package python-dev

sudo apt-get -f install python-dev

I ask again.

Please REFRAIN from using @ symbols to get someones attention. This is vbulletin. Not twitter. It helps in no way to direct their attention to posts (everyone gets a notification email regardless)
All it does is prevent new users who quote or attempt to replicate the format have moderated posts that go un-noticed.

@eurolocke:
The script is trying to download and install Plane Finder Client version 3.5.461.

This version is now outdated and no more available for download, hence the script failed to download and install it.

The current version is 3.5.469. Please install it manually by commands given below:

#download pfclient installation file
wget http://client.planefinder.net/pfclient_3.5.469_armhf.deb

#after download is successfully completed, install the downloaded file
sudo dpkg -i pfclient_3.5.469_armhf.deb

Hi I am new to this forum and stuggeling at pfclient package's installation. I was executing abcd567's brilliant script until coming up with the following message:

Many thanks for helping me out!

Hello,
hmmm......i do not find the adsbexchange Directory there

adsbreceiver.JPG

any idea what is wrong ?

tnx info
herb

@Jschmaltz
Are you just feeding adsbexchange or also participating in their MLAT?

There are two files which control these two functions.

~$ dir adsb-receiver/build/adsbexchange
adsbexchange-mlat_maint.sh
adsbexchange-netcat_maint.sh

For normal feed( by netcat), you dont have to do anything.

~$ sudo nano adsb-receiver/build/adsbexchange/adsbexchange-netcat_maint.sh
# you will see this:

#! /bin/sh
while true
  do
    sleep 30
    /bin/nc 127.0.0.1 30005 | /bin/nc feed.adsbexchange.com 30005
  done

For mlat, during installation process by automated script, your latitude, longitude and antenna elevation above sea level are entered. Sometiems these values are not saved in the file. You can then edit the file and enter missing values.

~$ sudo nano adsb-receiver/build/adsbexchange/adsbexchange-mlat_maint.sh

#you will see this:

#! /bin/sh
while true
  do
    sleep 30
    /usr/bin/mlat-client --input-type dump1090 --input-connect 127.0.0.1:30005 --lat xx.xxxx  --lon yy.yyyy  --alt zzz --user aaaaaa --server feed.adsbexchange.com:31090 --no-udp --results beast,connect,127.0.0.1:30104
  done

#if user (aaaaa), or latitude (xx.xxxx), or longitude (yy.yyy), or alttitude in meters (zzz) is missing, enter it manually

What's the best way to get into the ADS-B Exchange feeder settings? I don't seem to be showing up on their coverage map, so I'd like to fix that feeder without breaking the other three (working) feeders.

[abcd567]

Awesome, worked like a charm on my rpi connected with the usb tuner. This is exactly what I was trying to get working using various other scripts and web based monitoring tools.
Is there an option to get it working on an rpi connected with mode-s beast to USB and what additional steps needs to be to done?

@majo

This message is from Debian, on which Raspbian Jessies is based. It happened with me when I last upgraded, and I just ignore it and pressed q to quit this message.

[majo]

While updating the required packages list during the installation process I get this message:
plymouth.JPG
What should I do?
Thanks

Edit:
Installation works fine after just entering "q".
But what kind of a software/service is that?

[abcd567]

Maybe a dumb question. I used the script and it worked perfekt. Right now i would like to change my Rasbian from SD-Card to HD to use the advanced features. My question is, how can i switch to the advanced features. Do i have to install all again or is there a feature to switch from basic.

Regards
Eike

I myself did not know how to do it, so I decided to try.

FIRST ATTEMPT - Failed

#run the installation script
cd ~/adsb-receiver
./install.sh

#Installation process started
#I said No to everything till reached option to install web portal, and said yes to it. 
#The portal installation started, checked and found all components of web portal are already installed, 
#and completed WITHOUT offering option for Advance

SECOND ATTEMPT - Success

#First emptied html folder
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/*

#Now run the installation script 
cd ~/adsb-receiver
./install.sh

#Installation process started
#I said No to everything till reached option to install web portal, and said yes to it. 
#The portal installation started, and asked if I want to install Advanced option
#I chose SQL Lite, and it went ahead and installed the advanced option.

Flightradar webpage shows that I am online but there is no data uploaded. But planefinder shows a lot of ads-b uploads.


Any help?

Your FR24 settings are:
receiver="dvbt"
host="127.0.0.1:30005"

Try settings I use for my Pi/dvb-t, which is feeding FR24 successfully. These are:
receiver="AVR(TCP)"
host="127.0.0.1:30002"


On a computer on same LAN as your Pi, type in the address bar of browser:
(1) IP of Pi:8754 - see if upload is shown
(2) IP of Pi:8754/settings.html - see/change your settings.


See my settings below

FR24 status.png FR24 settings.png

NOTE: If on your Flightradar24 statistics page it says "Current upload rate: 0 KB/s", but your graphs are showing data, just ignore it.

See my stats page below. It also shows "Current upload rate: 0 KB/s", but graphs show data.

If the problem is still not solved, ask in the relevant thread for FR24 feeder help.

That will indeed rebuild/upgrade dump1090-mutability if I tell it to. But it won't do anything for piaware as far as I can tell. It ignores the feeders once they are installed. I assume I could use flightaware web site to send upgrade command to piaware, if I configure it to do automatic updates?

Please see Flightaware forums regarding Piaware upgrade.
I have raised this issue there. Please see my post linked below, and a number of response posts after it:

http://discussions.flightaware.com/post199942.html#p199942

Some user have reported successfully upgrading Piaware data feeder using method described by Flightawre

http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/upgrade

[jarda]

The dump1090-mutability and Piaware are NOT installed by "apt-get install". Insted source code is downloaded and .deb package is built in the Pi. Hence "apt-get upgrade" will not upgrade to latest version. The update/upgrade is to be done as follows:

cd ~/adsb-receiver
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master
./install.sh
