How to Install dump1090-mutability on RPi

[abcd567]

Oblivian:

The dump1090-mutability itself is not defunct.
It's Debian fork is being maintained as EB_VER.
It is only the version 1.15~dev which is defunct now.

The Debian's dump1090-mutability (EB_VER) was made available since BUSTER was released, and is available only for Buster. It is however not available for older Stretch or Jessie installs.

The current Pi24 image includes dump1090-mutability EB_VER.

If receiver=dvbt is selected in FR24 settings, it installs dump1090-mutability EB_VER

Almost one year ago I have modified the first post of this thread accordingly. It now provides installation commands as follows:

For current Raspbian Buster installs: EB_VER
For older Raspbian Stretch installs: ver1.15~dev

I dont see any need to put a defunt banner, particularly when it is actively in use by FR24's Pi24 image.

However deleting ver1.15~dev from title of threaand leave only dump1090-mutability will help.

If you think the instructions here are now defunt/out of date since 1.15 has been dropped. Do point out if it needs to be locked and a large banner put in to say so

Sorry, put this post at the wrong item.
I have this 403 problem when i try to start (IP of the RPI)/dump1090/gain.php in my browser

Your problem is related to this post:

READ & SET GAIN FROM BROWSER / DUMP1090 MAP



First let us check if the file gain.php exists and contains proper code. What is the output of following command?

cat
usr/share/dump1090-mutability/html/gain.php

Also check if php7.x-cgi is installed
What is output of this command?

If you have Raspbian BUSTER

apt-cache policy php7.3-cgi

If you have Raspbian STRETCH

apt-cache policy php7.0-cgi

So no max range rings.

Problem solved,
Error in the line:
sudo wget -O /usr/share/dump1090-mutability/html/upintheair.json "http://www.heywhatsthat.com/api/upintheair.json?id=XXXXXXXX&refraction=0.2 5&alts=12192"
Removed the item: amp;amp;

Thanks for pointing out.
I have now corrected the error.
Please see the first post of this thread. In the Terrain Limit Ring command "&" has been changed to "&".

I have the same problem. Installed it a second time.
But still this error 403-forbidden.

What do you mean by "the same problem"?
What you were trying to do when you got "error 403-forbidden"?
Please give details.

But dump1090 is a EB-version and not V1.15 -dev.

The version v1.15~dev is no more maintained by its author Oliver Jowett, and he has archived its source code at Github/mutability.

However Debian has forked it and the forked branch at Debian is being maintained by Debian Hamradio Maintainers.

When installed by command "sudo apt-get install dump1090-mutability", the dump1090-mutability gets installed from Debian repository. This one has ver changed from v.15~dev to EB_VER. It uses the same source code as the ver1.15~dev at Github/mutability.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dump1090-mutability

NOTE:
The Debian Repisitory version's actual name intended to be displayed on map was DEB_VER (Debian Version). However due to some bug in the code, the first letter D gets ommited, displaying only EB_VER

Unfortunately changing the forum also edited some previously put in code/text converting it to HTML. And some people re-pasting from their lanuage settings can do it too (as above)

amp; = &

Linux knows &, but not amp;

Put those in place of any amp; and it will function. Just hard to locate them across all posts after the fact

To abcd567: Installed all on a brand new SD card. But dump1090 is a EB-version and not V1.15 -dev. So no max range rings.
So what went wrong on my PI4B with Buster

That's the software or your language settings not recognizing ampersand

(d) Install data feeders FR24, Flightaware, & Planefinder (Steps 11, 12, & 13).

You can create as many rings as you want by adding elevations (in meters) at the end of URL given in the wget command above after "&alts=", separated by commas.

(A) RPi 2 & 3 with Raspbian STRETCH

Referring to these "amp" references on the first tutorial page. There's also an amp;amp reference in the json sudo wget command


I ran the purge and re-installation command you suggested, it didn't change anything. systemctl still reports a failure to start.

[abcd567]

You mention "amp" a few times. Not sure what it is.

Where did I mention "amp"?
Please give my full sentence or full command. Just saying "amp" does not give any clue.

I do have lighttdp installed however it won't start. Returns "failed to start lighttdp daemon" and "exited code."

Seems you got a corrupted install of lighttpd. Purge it, then reinstall

sudo apt purge lighttpd

sudo apt install lighttpd


.

[sibaar]

(1) What do you mean by "amp command"?

(2) A web server is required to display map. By default dump1090 requires lighttpd as web server. It is installed as dependency of dump1090. May be you did not install it. The output of following command will show if you have it installed:

apt policy lighttpd


If lighttpd is not installed, please install it by following command:

sudo apt install lighttpd


.
