Hi,

OK I have now got my Rpi sharing data to Flightaware and FR24 - which I am pleased with.

I think for now I will keep the Windows machine running for VRS and PP, and my 24hour logs.

Will FR24 automatically restart feeding off the Rpi after a restart, or will it need me to Putty in an launch?

Any ideas? Is it the Piaware site password?

PiAware isn't password protected.

But the OS might be:

Will FR24 automatically restart feeding off the Rpi after a restart

Yes, it should be configured to auto start on reboot. Here's the method I used:

Code Select Expand

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/install_fr24_rpi.sh)"

You will be asked to enter your email address, say yes to Mlat stuff, input sharing key and antenna position xx.xx yy.yy, height ASL and say no to logging but accept the default log path.

Execute the command suggested

Code Select Expand

sudo systemct1 restart fr24feed

If the above doesn't work, 'sudo reboot' and wait a few minutes, the feed should come up on FR24 when you check on the My Data Sharing option under the account type.
