Manual setup of data feeder?

[86-86]

Just a quick couple of questions that's probably been asked before but am new to FR24.

Im not wanting to install PI24 or anything as the system running the receiver is also running other SDR systems. First question, is there a way to just open a port to share the BEAST data? Or does it require me to install a full OS provided by FR24? If the answer is yes, ignore the next question.

Question 2. is there an IP list of the FR24 feeder servers that request the data I can whitelist on my firewall to only allow those servers to access? Or is it some p2p type setup?

Thanks in advance.

It is not necessary to use Pi24 image if you already have Raspberry Pi OS, or DietPi OS, or Armbian OS running on Pi.

Simply run following command to install FR24 feeder

wget -qO- https://fr24.com/install.sh | sudo bash -s

If you already have a decoder such as dump1090-fa, readsb, dump1090-rb, dump1090-mutability installed on your Pi, the fr24 feeder will detect it and use data from it's port 30002.

After installation of fr24feeder package is done, a signup procedure will start it will ask you your email, latitude & longitude. Finally it will ask you if you want default configuration. Say *yes* to it.

Please note that if you are already running one of the decoder listed above, then NEVER select receiver="dvbt". If you select receiver="dvbt", then fr24feed will install dump1090-mutability. Having 2 decoders installed will mess up your system.

thankyou.

So im guessing the client will send the data without port forwarding which is nice.

One more question,

I also have a mobile receiver which runs the dump1090, is it feasible to add this to FR24? I sometimes have this out and about for various adsb and radio hobbies. It has an internal 5g modem also for internet. For accuracy of the data I’m guessing the station should only update when im in a fixed location (not moving) but is it possible to update the gps coordinates dynamically when turning this on? Or would FR24 prefer this to be a permanent location?

Correct it's essential outbound establishment not in.

They don't tend to like roving/moving receivers. As the data filtering (it happens despite no mention) gets a bounding box based on location given to the server. It's not so much sent as part of client settings.

You use to be able to update your locale at the click of a button on your account page. But the radar code is also issued based on the initial setup location. So if it's too far abroad suddenly you're tagging stuff out of bounds that it is expecting
