Using your existing ADS-B receiver

• 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: #

https://www.freemaptools.com/elevation-finder.htm

2: Install the adsblol feed client #

curl -L -o /tmp/lol-feed.sh https://adsb.lol/feed.sh
sudo bash /tmp/lol-feed.sh

3: Check if your feed is working #

That one’s easy! Just go to https://adsb.lol and you should show as feeding.

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

Misc maintenance #

Update #

Update the feed client without reconfiguring

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

Troubleshooting issues #

If you encounter issues, please do a reboot and then supply these logs on zulip (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/lol-feed.sh https://adsb.lol/feed.sh
sudo bash /tmp/lol-feed.sh

Restart #

sudo systemctl restart adsblol-feed
sudo systemctl restart adsblol-mlat

Systemd Status #

sudo systemctl status adsblol-mlat
sudo systemctl status adsblol-feed

Uninstall #

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

If the above doesn’t work, you may be using an old version that didn’t have the uninstall script,

just disable the services and the scripts won’t run anymore:

sudo systemctl disable --now adsblol-feed
sudo systemctl disable --now adsblol-mlat
