ADS-B Feeder aircraft.json

General Discussion
1

I’m running DietPi v9.13.2 on a RPi 4 Model B primarily to host ADS-B Feeder. ADS-B Feeder is v2.3.5(Stable).

Among others, I’m contributing to FlightRadar24 and I’m trying to get access data/aircraft.json.

In a closed gitlab issue for adsb-feeder-image I found that this json is available at http://adsb-feeder.local:8080/data/aircraft.json however this doesn’t seem to be the case for ADS-B Feeder on DietPi. When I curl the address it fails to connect on port 8080, but I can curl on port 1099. Is there a way to edit the the docker container in a persistent way to make this json available?

After a lot of looking and testing, I found I could access the json over port 1090.

So to access the aircraft.json on dietpi when using the ADS-B Feeder image, use http://adsb-feeder.local:1090/data/aircraft.json

Interesting, we use https://github.com/dirkhh/adsb-feeder-image, which should run on port 1099.

The UI can be accessed via port 1099.

Anyways, this is also mentioned in the docs: https://dietpi.com/docs/software/distributed_projects/#ads-b-feeder-access-to-the-web-interface

And if you run into a similiar issue in the future, you can just use this command so show you which services run on which port:

sudo ss -tulpn

I did install ADS-B Feeder from the DietPi software list and the GUI is accessed on port 1099. The Map is accessed from port 1090, dozzle is on port 1094, FR24 is on 8754. I don’t have any other account based aggregators, so there may be other settings/status pages on other ports.

Specifically I was looking to access the aircraft.json to configure a HomeAssistant card that shows data on flights visible from my receiver.

If you have ADS-B Feeder on DietPi and you want to configure this card, use http://[adsb-local-ip]:1090/data/aircraft.json in the sensor.yaml configuration preparation.
