I want to try using nginx for the skyview instead of the default lighttpd server, here are my configuration files for my LAN.
Nginx configuration (/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/piaware-dump1090.conf):
server {
server_name servername;
root /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html/;
listen 8090;
index index.html;
access_log /dev/null; #it generates huge logs, so I disabled it
error_log /var/nginx/piaware.error.log; #useful for debugging errors
# Fixes frames not working
add_header X-Frame-Options "ALLOW";
# someone verify if this is the correct way
location ~ /dump1090-fa/data/.*\.json$ {
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
}
location /dump1090-fa/data/ {
alias /run/dump1090-fa/;
}
location /dump1090-fa {
alias /usr/share/dump1090-fa/html/;
}
location /data/ {
alias /run/dump1090-fa/;
}
}
Access skyview1090 at http://localhost:8090
Nginx configuration (/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/piaware-skyview978.conf):
server {
server_name servername;
root /usr/share/skyview978/html/;
listen 8978;
index index.html;
access_log /dev/null;
error_log /var/nginx/piaware.error.log;
location ~ /skyview978/data/.*\.json$ {
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
}
location /skyview978/data/ {
alias /run/skyview978/;
}
location /data/ {
alias /run/skyview978/;
}
}
Access skyview978 at http://localhost:8978
If you want to change the default flightaware dump1090-fa html see the flightaware discussion: https://discussions.flightaware.com/t/skyview-customize-data-presentation/35576/14
I also use this customized dump1090 html files: https://github.com/alkissack/Dump1090-OpenLayers3-html
To use it, first we need to clone the repo and place it somewhere in /var/wwww
$ git clone https://github.com/alkissack/Dump1090-OpenLayers3-html
$ sudo mv Dump1090-OpenLayers3-html/public_html /var/www/
If you have problem
We now need to edit our nginx configurations, replace the default root location in dump1090 and dump978:
For dump1090 replace instances of
/usr/share/dump1090-fa/html/
to
/var/www/public_html/
For dump978 replace instances
/usr/share/skyview978/html/
to
/var/www/public_html/
Reload nginx server:
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
Clear your browser cache and load the page again.
Note: You need to configure the
config.js
for the Lat and Long of your receiver and other things, please read the github wiki for more info.
Feeding data to ADS-B EXCHANGE
from: https://www.adsbexchange.com/how-to-feed/
Requires: git and socat
$ sudo apt install git socat
$ git clone https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange.git
$ cd adsb-exchange
$ chmod +x setup.sh
$ sudo ./setup.sh
It will ask for Lat and Long, Elevation, port and feedername.
Note: After completing the setup do not delete this folder.
Check if it is running:
$ ps -ef|grep adsb
