adsb.lol feed client

ADSB.lol is an open source ADSB+MLAT aggregator.

• These scripts aid in setting up your current ADS-B receiver to feed adsb.lol.
• They will not disrupt any existing feed clients already present

1: Find coordinates / elevation:

2: Install the adsblol feed client

curl -L -o /tmp/axfeed.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adsblol/feed/master/install.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axfeed.sh

3: Check netstat to check if your feed is working

The feed IP for adsb.lol is currently 142.132.241.63

$ host feed.adsb.lol
feed.adsb.lol has address 142.132.241.63

Expected Output:

$ netstat -t -n | grep -E '30004|31090'
tcp        0    182 localhost:43530     65.109.2.208:31090      ESTABLISHED
tcp        0    410 localhost:47332     65.109.2.208:30004      ESTABLISHED

4: Optional: Install the stats package for an online map that shows only planes received by you:

curl -L -o /tmp/axstats.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adsblol/feed/master/stats.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axstats.sh

adsblol-showurl

Optional: local interface for your data http://192.168.X.XX/adsblol

Install / Update:

sudo bash /usr/local/share/adsblol/git/install-or-update-interface.sh

Remove:

sudo bash /usr/local/share/tar1090/uninstall.sh adsblol

Update the feed client without reconfiguring

curl -L -o /tmp/axupdate.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adsblol/feed/master/update.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axupdate.sh

If you encounter issues, please do a reboot and then supply these logs on the forum (last 20 lines for each is sufficient):

sudo journalctl -u adsblol-feed --no-pager
sudo journalctl -u adsblol-mlat --no-pager

Display the configuration

cat /etc/default/adsblol

Changing the configuration

This is the same as the initial installation. If the client is up to date it should not take as long as the original installation, otherwise this will also update the client which will take a moment.

curl -L -o /tmp/axfeed.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adsblol/feed/master/install.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axfeed.sh
