Feeding Flightradar24 when using an existing feed

I run OARC’s ADS-B feeder that feeds their public and my site.

I also wanted to feed Flightradar24, but when I setup months ago I seemed to have made a configuration error so it never feed anything to them.

This is a quick overview on how to configure an existing feed that uses an RTL-SDR and tar1090.

Install Flightradar24’s feed and follow the prompts to set the feed up.

Once it’s installed, navigate to the more friendly browser based GUI; the GUI can be found http://feederPrivateIP:8754. In my case it was http://192.168.1.159:8754. You can also use a hostname if one was configured.

Navigate to Actions and click Settings:

Within the settings, locate the following:

• Receiver and change it to ModeS Beast (TCP)

• Host/IP and set to 127.0.0.1:30005

  

You can also use:

• Reciver: avr-tcp
• Host/IP:1270.0.0.1:30002

You shouldn’t need to restart the FR24 feed as it’ll do that once you save the configuration, but if you do: sudo systemctl restart fr24feed.

Assuming you’ve completed the signup steps, you should now see the feed in your My data sharing section.

Hope this helps!
