ADS-B Exchange Setup Scripts ✈️
This repository is no longer updated, please visit: https://github.com/ADSBexchange/feedclient
- These scripts aid in setting up your current ADS-B receiver to feed ADS-B Exchange.
- They will not disrupt any existing feed clients already present
1: Find coordinates / elevation:
https://www.freemaptools.com/elevation-finder.htm
2: Install the adsbexchange feed client
curl -L -o /tmp/axfeed.sh https://adsbexchange.com/feed.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axfeed.sh
3: Check these two URLs to check if your feed is working
4: Optional: Install the stats package for an online map that shows only planes received by you:
curl -L -o /tmp/axstats.sh https://adsbexchange.com/stats.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axstats.sh
adsbexchange-showurl
Optional: local interface for your data http://192.168.X.XX/adsbx
Install / Update:
sudo bash /usr/local/share/adsbexchange/git/install-or-update-interface.sh
Remove:
sudo bash /usr/local/share/tar1090/uninstall.sh adsbx
Update the feed client without reconfiguring
curl -L -o /tmp/axupdate.sh https://adsbexchange.com/feed-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 adsbexchange-feed --no-pager
sudo journalctl -u adsbexchange-mlat --no-pager
Display the configuration
cat /etc/default/adsbexchange
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://adsbexchange.com/feed.sh
sudo bash /tmp/axfeed.sh

Removal / disabling the services:
