2.1 Feeding
- Request a station name (location/city) by sending an email to us: [email protected]
- Station name policy: We want to keep it clean and tidy. E.g. if you live in Berlin and you're the first station there, we'd assign you "Berlin" as station name. If that's already taken and your station is e.g. in the Koepenick district of Berlin, we'd give you "BerlinKoepenick" as station name.
If you didn't already, add our package repository first, as shown in the Install Chapter
Install the feeder application
sudo apt install sdrmapfeeder
Edit the config file with
sudo nano /etc/default/sdrmapfeeder
Fill in your credentials
username="Somestationnameyourequestedfromus"
password="Thepasswordwesentyou"
Sending system information about your station to us is activated by default and helps you and us maintaining the station and network. No privacy related information is sent to us. You may disable it anyways.
#Set to false if you do not want to transmit system info like os, software version or cpu type
sysinfo=true
sysinfointerval=30
Uncomment the corresponding line if you want to feed ADS-B data to us. Change the directory containing the aircraft.json accordingly (not necessary if you're using dump1090-fa). MLAT is not feeded with this - you have to install our mlat-client additionally (shown in the next chapter).
#ADS-B
adsb=true
[...]
adsbpath="/run/dump1090-fa/aircraft.json"
Uncomment the corresponding line if you want to feed radiosonde data to us. Change the directory containing the radiosondeautorx-logfiles accordingly (not necessary if you're using our radiosondeautorx package).
#Radiosonde
radiosonde=true
radiosondeinterval=3
# path to your autorx log directory
radiosondepath='/var/tmp/radiosondeautorx'
Then, restart the service with
sudo systemctl restart sdrmapfeeder
If you feed ADS-B data, you also want to install our mlat-client:
