  • Running updates/upgrades

    Hi

    Totally new to this so still finding my feet.

    I started with clean OS install, sorted dump1090-mut and got FR24 feed up and running.

    Yesterday/today I've built a 4 legged spider antenna to increase my range and have installed feeders for FA, Ads-b exchange and plan to add Planefinder when my account is varified.

    The one thing I'm concerned about is updates, will I be safe running sudo apt-get update/sudo apt-get dist-upgrade as I like to keep current or do I run the risk of screwing with the feeders.

    It took quite a while to get things right so I don't want to ruin it straight away.

    Cheers

    Normally it's not a problem.

    But if you like updates, dump1090-fa is more or less the updated version of dump1090-mut.
    Also make sure you don't use mutability 1.14, it doesn't understand MLAT and that can create all sorts of problems.

    (can't remember any account verification for planefinder, only clicking a link in a mail. so make sure you check your mail, maybe Junk)

      Running following command will tell if you have version 1.15 or ver 1.14 of dump1090-mutability.

      For Flightaware Mlat feed back, you need ver 1.15
      The ver 1.14 is unsuitable for Flightaware Mlat feedback.

      Code:
      apt-cache policy dump1090-mutability

        Hi, for me the output is:

        dump1090-mutability:
        Installed: 1.14
        Candidate: 1.14
        Version table:
        *** 1.14 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

        How do I update to version 1.15?

        Best

            I took the image from the flightradar24 website, the PI24 image.

            pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -c
            Codename: stretch

            pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release
            PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
            NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
            VERSION_ID="9"
            VERSION="9 (stretch)"
            ID=raspbian
            ID_LIKE=debian

              Thanks for your replies I'll see whats available to update later.

              After looking around I decided to go with Raspbian lite and used Dump1090 1.15~dev. It takes more time to set up for the novice but I felt it would provide a better base for running the different feeds.

                @Nomax2000
                Upgrading Pi24's mut v 1.14 to 1.15 is not a clean solution and may lead to complications.

                It is better to go for a Raspbian image and install dump1090-mut ver 1.15

                @theredguy has taken right decision.

                Please see OPTION (B) of following post

                How to Feed Data to Multiple Sites - A Brief Guide


                NOTE: With Raspbian image, enable SSH as follows:

                While the microSD card is still in the card reader of your Laptop/Desktop, in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) click on drive letter of the microSD card (labelled boot) to open it. It will open folder /boot which has many files & folders. In the /boot folder, create a new text file and name it ssh.
