FR24Feeder not starting automatically

[highchain]

Hi there,

I have a raspi installed with all updates, etc. and the latest FR24feeder. The system by itself is working but when for whatever reason a reboot is necessary the fr24feeder service is not starting automatically.

A sudo systemctl status fr24feed give the following:

● fr24feed.service - Flightradar24 Decoder & Feeder

The error message is not harmful, and you can simply ignore it.

However if you are getting irritated/upset by this error message, then see below the solution given by bimmerdriver in another thread:

The message you're seeing in the status is caused by an error in the referenced shell script. Specifically, a chown command is being executed on a directory that doesn't exist. Basically, it's sloppy coding on the part of FR24.

If you want to fix the error, revise the command as follows:

chown -R fr24:fr24 /dev/shm/decoder.txt /run/fr24feed

abcd567 Thta's what I did and the failure is gone. What is not though is this message "Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/fr24feed.service; disabled; preset: enabled)"

Try this:

sudo systemctl enable fr24feed  

sudo reboot  

## After reboot, check status.
## You will find that it has started
## automatically on boot

sudo systemctl status fr24feed
