[linux] Alternative FR24 Feeder Tracker view
FR24feed comes with the handy web UI on :8754 but I for one don't like the long listing format; I'd prefer a table form such as is seen in the output of dump1090.
There doesn't seem to be a way to override the embedded web server to serve different html/js, but a little fettling with a local Apache and I now have a live update looking like this:
The attached index.php (renamed as .txt) can be installed anywhere that can connect to your FR24 feeder page. Because of cross-site request restrictions, it can't access the JSON feed, so it also needs a shim (flights.json.php) to proxy that request locally.
(FR24 are welcome to take this (idea/code) back into the feed program)
