# SkyView Database Auto-Update with Cron
This guide explains how to set up automatic database updates for SkyView using cron jobs.
## Overview
SkyView can automatically update its aviation database from public domain sources using cron jobs. This ensures your aircraft callsign data stays current without manual intervention.
## Features
- ✅ **Auto-initialization**: Creates empty database if it doesn't exist
- ✅ **Safe sources only**: Updates only public domain data (no license issues)
- ✅ **Cron-friendly**: Proper logging and exit codes for automated execution
- ✅ **Lock file protection**: Prevents concurrent updates
- ✅ **Error handling**: Graceful failure handling with logging
## Quick Setup
### 1. Command Line Tool
The `skyview-data` command is designed to work perfectly with cron:
```bash
# Auto-initialize database and update safe sources
skyview-data update
# Check what's loaded
skyview-data status
# List available sources
skyview-data list
```
### 2. Cron Job Examples
#### Daily Update (Recommended)
```bash
# Add to crontab: crontab -e
# Update database daily at 3 AM
0 3 * * * /usr/bin/skyview-data update >/var/log/skyview-update.log 2>&1
```
#### Weekly Update
```bash
# Update database weekly on Sunday at 2 AM
0 2 * * 0 /usr/bin/skyview-data update >/var/log/skyview-update.log 2>&1
```
#### With Helper Script (Debian Package)
```bash
# Use the provided update script
0 3 * * * /usr/share/skyview/scripts/update-database.sh
```
### 3. System Service User
For Debian package installations, use the skyview service user:
```bash
# Edit skyview user's crontab
sudo crontab -u skyview -e
# Add daily update
0 3 * * * /usr/bin/skyview-data update
```
## Configuration
### Database Location
The tool automatically detects the database location:
- **System service**: `/var/lib/skyview/skyview.db`
- **User install**: `~/.local/share/skyview/skyview.db`
- **Current directory**: `./skyview.db`
### Custom Database Path
```bash
# Specify custom database location
skyview-data -db /custom/path/skyview.db update
```
### Logging
For cron jobs, redirect output to log files:
```bash
# Basic logging
skyview-data update >> /var/log/skyview-update.log 2>&1
# With timestamps (using helper script)
/usr/share/skyview/scripts/update-database.sh
```
## Data Sources
### Safe Sources (Auto-Updated)
These sources are automatically included in `skyview-data update`:
- **OurAirports**: Public domain airport data
- **FAA Registry**: US aircraft registration (public domain)
- *(Additional safe sources as they become available)*
### License-Required Sources
These require explicit acceptance and are NOT included in automatic updates:
- **OpenFlights**: AGPL-3.0 licensed airline/airport data
To include license-required sources:
```bash
# Interactive acceptance
skyview-data import openflights
# Force acceptance (for automation)
skyview-data update openflights --force
```
## Monitoring
### Check Update Status
```bash
# View database status
skyview-data status
# Example output:
# SkyView Database Status
# ======================
# Database: /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db
# Size: 15.4 MB
# Modified: 2025-01-15T03:00:12Z
#
# 📦 Loaded Data Sources (2):
# • OurAirports (Public Domain)
# • FAA Registry (Public Domain)
#
# 📊 Statistics:
# Aircraft History: 1,234 records
# Unique Aircraft: 567
# Last 24h: 89 records
```
### Log Monitoring
```bash
# View recent updates
tail -f /var/log/skyview-update.log
# Check for errors
grep ERROR /var/log/skyview-update.log
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### Database Not Found
```
ERROR: failed to create database: no write permission
```
**Solution**: Ensure the skyview user has write access to `/var/lib/skyview/`
#### Network Errors
```
ERROR: failed to download data: connection timeout
```
**Solution**: Check internet connectivity and firewall settings
#### Lock File Issues
```
ERROR: Another instance is already running
```
**Solution**: Wait for current update to finish, or remove stale lock file
### Manual Debugging
```bash
# Verbose output
skyview-data -v update
# Force update (skips locks)
skyview-data update --force
# Reset database
skyview-data reset --force
```
## Advanced Configuration
### Custom Update Script
Create your own update script with custom logic:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# custom-update.sh
# Only update if database is older than 7 days
if [ "$(find /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db -mtime +7)" ]; then
skyview-data update
systemctl reload skyview # Reload SkyView after update
fi
```
### Integration with SkyView Service
```bash
# Reload SkyView after database updates
skyview-data update && systemctl reload skyview
```
### Backup Before Updates
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# backup-and-update.sh
DB_PATH="/var/lib/skyview/skyview.db"
BACKUP_DIR="/var/backups/skyview"
# Create backup
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
cp "$DB_PATH" "$BACKUP_DIR/skyview-$(date +%Y%m%d).db"
# Keep only last 7 backups
find "$BACKUP_DIR" -name "skyview-*.db" -type f -mtime +7 -delete
# Update database
skyview-data update
```
## Security Considerations
### File Permissions
```bash
# Secure database directory
sudo chown skyview:skyview /var/lib/skyview
sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/skyview
sudo chmod 644 /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db
```
### Network Security
- Updates only download from trusted sources (GitHub, government sites)
- All downloads use HTTPS
- No sensitive data is transmitted
- Local processing only
### Resource Limits
```bash
# Limit resources in cron (optional)
0 3 * * * timeout 30m nice -n 10 skyview-data update
```
This setup ensures your SkyView installation maintains up-to-date aviation data automatically while respecting all license requirements and security best practices.

# SkyView Database Architecture
This document describes SkyView's SQLite database architecture, migration system, and integration approach for persistent data storage.
## Overview
SkyView uses a single SQLite database to store:
- **Historic aircraft data**: Position history, message counts, signal strength
- **Callsign lookup data**: Cached airline/airport information from external APIs
- **Embedded aviation data**: OpenFlights airline and airport databases
## Database Design Principles
### Embedded Architecture
- Single SQLite file for all persistent data
- No external database dependencies
- Self-contained deployment with embedded schemas
- Backward compatibility through versioned migrations
### Performance Optimization
- Strategic indexing for time-series aircraft data
- Efficient lookups for callsign enhancement
- Configurable data retention policies
- Query optimization for real-time operations
### Data Safety
- Atomic migration transactions
- Pre-migration backups for destructive changes
- Data loss warnings for schema changes
- Rollback capabilities where possible
## Database Schema
### Core Tables
#### `schema_info`
Tracks database version and applied migrations:
```sql
CREATE TABLE schema_info (
version INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
applied_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
description TEXT,
checksum TEXT
);
```
#### `aircraft_history`
Stores time-series aircraft position and message data:
```sql
CREATE TABLE aircraft_history (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
icao_hex TEXT NOT NULL,
timestamp TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
latitude REAL,
longitude REAL,
altitude INTEGER,
speed INTEGER,
track INTEGER,
vertical_rate INTEGER,
squawk TEXT,
callsign TEXT,
source_id TEXT,
signal_strength REAL,
message_count INTEGER DEFAULT 1
);
```
**Indexes:**
- `idx_aircraft_history_icao_time`: Fast queries by aircraft and time range
- `idx_aircraft_history_timestamp`: Time-based cleanup and queries
- `idx_aircraft_history_callsign`: Callsign-based searches
#### `airlines`
OpenFlights embedded airline database:
```sql
CREATE TABLE airlines (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
alias TEXT,
iata TEXT,
icao TEXT,
callsign TEXT,
country TEXT,
active BOOLEAN DEFAULT 1
);
```
**Indexes:**
- `idx_airlines_icao`: ICAO code lookup (primary for callsign enhancement)
- `idx_airlines_iata`: IATA code lookup
#### `airports`
OpenFlights embedded airport database:
```sql
CREATE TABLE airports (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
city TEXT,
country TEXT,
iata TEXT,
icao TEXT,
latitude REAL,
longitude REAL,
altitude INTEGER,
timezone_offset REAL,
dst_type TEXT,
timezone TEXT
);
```
**Indexes:**
- `idx_airports_icao`: ICAO code lookup
- `idx_airports_iata`: IATA code lookup
#### `callsign_cache`
Caches external API lookups for callsign enhancement:
```sql
CREATE TABLE callsign_cache (
callsign TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
airline_icao TEXT,
airline_name TEXT,
flight_number TEXT,
origin_iata TEXT,
destination_iata TEXT,
aircraft_type TEXT,
cached_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
expires_at TIMESTAMP,
source TEXT DEFAULT 'local'
);
```
**Indexes:**
- `idx_callsign_cache_expires`: Efficient cache cleanup
## Database Location Strategy
### Path Resolution Order
1. **Explicit configuration**: `database.path` in config file
2. **System service**: `/var/lib/skyview/skyview.db`
3. **User mode**: `~/.local/share/skyview/skyview.db`
4. **Fallback**: `./skyview.db` in current directory
### Directory Permissions
- System: `root:root` with `755` permissions for `/var/lib/skyview/`
- User: User-owned directories with standard permissions
- Service: `skyview:skyview` user/group for system service
## Migration System
### Migration Structure
```go
type Migration struct {
Version int // Sequential version number
Description string // Human-readable description
Up string // SQL for applying migration
Down string // SQL for rollback (optional)
DataLoss bool // Warning flag for destructive changes
}
```
### Migration Process
1. **Version Check**: Compare current schema version with available migrations
2. **Backup**: Create automatic backup before destructive changes
3. **Transaction**: Wrap each migration in atomic transaction
4. **Validation**: Verify schema integrity after migration
5. **Logging**: Record successful migrations in `schema_info`
### Data Loss Protection
- Migrations marked with `DataLoss: true` require explicit user consent
- Automatic backups created before destructive operations
- Warning messages displayed during upgrade process
- Rollback SQL provided where possible
### Example Migration Sequence
```go
var migrations = []Migration{
{
Version: 1,
Description: "Initial schema with aircraft history",
Up: createInitialSchema,
DataLoss: false,
},
{
Version: 2,
Description: "Add OpenFlights airline and airport data",
Up: addAviationTables,
DataLoss: false,
},
{
Version: 3,
Description: "Add callsign lookup cache",
Up: addCallsignCache,
DataLoss: false,
},
}
```

## Debian Package Integration
### Package Structure
```
/var/lib/skyview/ # Database directory
/etc/skyview/config.json # Default configuration
/usr/bin/skyview # Main application
/usr/share/skyview/ # Embedded resources
```
### Installation Process
1. **`postinst`**: Create directories, user accounts, permissions
2. **First Run**: Database initialization and migration on startup
3. **Upgrades**: Automatic schema migration with backup
4. **Service**: Systemd integration with proper database access
### Service User
- User: `skyview`
- Home: `/var/lib/skyview`
- Shell: `/bin/false` (service account)
- Database: Read/write access to `/var/lib/skyview/`
## Data Retention and Cleanup
### Automatic Cleanup
- **Aircraft History**: Configurable retention period (`max_history_days`)
- **Cache Expiration**: TTL-based cleanup of external API cache
- **Optimization**: Periodic VACUUM operations for storage efficiency
### Manual Maintenance
```sql
-- Clean old aircraft history (example: 7 days)
DELETE FROM aircraft_history
WHERE timestamp < datetime('now', '-7 days');
-- Clean expired cache entries
DELETE FROM callsign_cache
WHERE expires_at < datetime('now');
-- Optimize database storage
VACUUM;
```
## Performance Considerations
### Query Optimization
- Time-range queries use `idx_aircraft_history_icao_time`
- Callsign lookups prioritize local cache over external APIs
- Bulk operations use transactions for consistency
### Storage Efficiency
- Configurable history limits prevent unbounded growth
- Periodic VACUUM operations reclaim deleted space
- Compressed timestamps and efficient data types
### Memory Usage
- WAL mode for concurrent read/write access
- Connection pooling for multiple goroutines
- Prepared statements for repeated queries
## Privacy and Security
### Privacy Mode
SkyView includes comprehensive privacy controls through the `privacy_mode` configuration option:
```json
{
"callsign": {
"enabled": true,
"privacy_mode": true,
"external_apis": false
}
}
```
#### Privacy Mode Features
- **No External Calls**: Completely disables all external API requests
- **Local-Only Lookups**: Uses only embedded OpenFlights database for callsign enhancement
- **No Data Transmission**: Aircraft data never leaves the local system
- **Compliance**: Suitable for sensitive environments requiring air-gapped operation
#### Privacy Mode Behavior
| Feature | Privacy Mode ON | Privacy Mode OFF |
|---------|----------------|------------------|
| External API calls | ❌ Disabled | ✅ Configurable |
| OpenFlights lookup | ✅ Enabled | ✅ Enabled |
| Callsign caching | ✅ Local only | ✅ Full caching |
| Data transmission | ❌ None | ⚠️ API calls only |
#### Use Cases for Privacy Mode
- **Military installations**: No external data transmission allowed
- **Air-gapped networks**: No internet connectivity available
- **Corporate policies**: External API usage prohibited
- **Personal privacy**: User preference for local-only operation
### Security Considerations
#### File Permissions
- Database files readable only by skyview user/group
- Configuration files protected from unauthorized access
- Backup files inherit secure permissions
#### Data Protection
- Local SQLite database with file-system level security
- No cloud storage or external database dependencies
- All aviation data processed and stored locally
#### Network Security
- External API calls (when enabled) use HTTPS only
- No persistent connections to external services
- Optional certificate validation for API endpoints
### Data Integrity
- Foreign key constraints where applicable
- Transaction isolation for concurrent operations
- Checksums for migration verification
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### Database Locked
```
Error: database is locked
```
**Solution**: Stop SkyView service, check for stale lock files, restart
#### Migration Failures
```
Error: migration 3 failed: table already exists
```
**Solution**: Check schema version, restore from backup, retry migration
#### Permission Denied
```
Error: unable to open database file
```
**Solution**: Verify file permissions, check directory ownership, ensure disk space
### Diagnostic Commands
```bash
# Check database integrity
sqlite3 /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db "PRAGMA integrity_check;"
# View schema version
sqlite3 /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db "SELECT * FROM schema_info;"
# Database statistics
sqlite3 /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db ".dbinfo"
```
## Future Enhancements
### Planned Features
- **Compression**: Time-series compression for long-term storage
- **Partitioning**: Date-based partitioning for large datasets
- **Replication**: Read replica support for high-availability setups
- **Analytics**: Built-in reporting and statistics tables

# SkyView Database Migration Guide
This guide covers the transition from SkyView's in-memory data storage to persistent SQLite database storage, introduced in version 0.1.0.
## Overview of Changes
### What's New
- **Persistent Storage**: Aircraft position history survives restarts
- **Callsign Enhancement**: Enriched aircraft information with airline/airport data
- **Embedded Aviation Database**: OpenFlights airline and airport data included
- **Configurable Retention**: Control how long historical data is kept
- **Privacy Controls**: Comprehensive privacy mode for sensitive environments
### What's Changed
- **Memory Usage**: Reduced memory footprint for aircraft tracking
- **Startup Time**: Slightly longer initial startup due to database initialization
- **Configuration**: New database and callsign configuration sections
- **File Structure**: New database file created in system or user directories
## Pre-Migration Checklist
### System Requirements
- **Disk Space**: Minimum 100MB available for database and backups
- **Permissions**: Write access to `/var/lib/skyview/` (system) or `~/.local/share/skyview/` (user)
- **SQLite**: No additional installation required (embedded in SkyView)
### Current Data
⚠️ **Important**: In-memory aircraft data from previous versions cannot be preserved during migration. Historical tracking will start fresh after the upgrade.
## Migration Process
### Automatic Migration (Recommended)
#### For Debian Package Users
```bash
# Update to new version
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade skyview-adsb
# Service will automatically restart and initialize database
sudo systemctl status skyview
```
#### For Manual Installation Users
```bash
# Stop current SkyView instance
sudo systemctl stop skyview # or kill existing process
# Backup current configuration
cp /etc/skyview/config.json /etc/skyview/config.json.backup
# Start new version (database will be created automatically)
sudo systemctl start skyview
```
### Manual Database Setup
If automatic initialization fails, you can manually initialize the database:
```bash
# Create database directory
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/skyview
sudo chown skyview:skyview /var/lib/skyview
# Run SkyView with explicit database initialization
sudo -u skyview /usr/bin/skyview --init-database --config /etc/skyview/config.json
```
## Configuration Updates
### New Configuration Sections
Add these sections to your existing `config.json`:
```json
{
"database": {
"path": "",
"max_history_days": 7,
"backup_on_upgrade": true
},
"callsign": {
"enabled": true,
"cache_hours": 24,
"external_apis": true,
"privacy_mode": false
}
}
```
### Configuration Migration
#### Default System Configuration
The new default configuration will be created at `/etc/skyview/config.json` if it doesn't exist:
```json
{
"server": {
"host": "",
"port": 8080
},
"sources": [
{
"id": "local",
"name": "Local Receiver",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 30005,
"format": "beast",
"latitude": 0,
"longitude": 0,
"altitude": 0,
"enabled": true
}
],
"settings": {
"history_limit": 500,
"stale_timeout": 60,
"update_rate": 1
},
"origin": {
"latitude": 51.4700,
"longitude": -0.4600,
"name": "Default Origin"
},
"database": {
"path": "",
"max_history_days": 7,
"backup_on_upgrade": true
},
"callsign": {
"enabled": true,
"cache_hours": 24,
"external_apis": true,
"privacy_mode": false
}
}
```
#### Preserving Custom Settings
If you have customized your configuration, merge your existing settings with the new sections:
```bash
# Backup original
cp /etc/skyview/config.json /etc/skyview/config.json.original
# Edit configuration to add new sections
sudo nano /etc/skyview/config.json
```
## Privacy Configuration
### Enabling Privacy Mode
For sensitive environments that require no external data transmission:
```json
{
"callsign": {
"enabled": true,
"external_apis": false,
"privacy_mode": true,
"cache_hours": 168
}
}
```
### Privacy Mode Features
- **No External API Calls**: Completely disables OpenSky Network and other external APIs
- **Local-Only Enhancement**: Uses embedded OpenFlights data for callsign lookup
- **Offline Operation**: Full functionality without internet connectivity
- **Compliance Ready**: Suitable for air-gapped or restricted networks
## Post-Migration Verification
### Database Verification
```bash
# Check database file exists and has correct permissions
ls -la /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db
# Should show: -rw-r--r-- 1 skyview skyview [size] [date] skyview.db
# Verify database schema
sqlite3 /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db "SELECT version FROM schema_info ORDER BY version DESC LIMIT 1;"
# Should return current schema version number
```
### Service Health Check
```bash
# Check service status
sudo systemctl status skyview
# Check logs for any errors
sudo journalctl -u skyview -f
# Verify web interface accessibility
curl -I http://localhost:8080/
# Should return: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
```
### Feature Testing
1. **Historical Data**: Verify aircraft positions persist after restart
2. **Callsign Enhancement**: Check that airline names appear for aircraft with callsigns
3. **Performance**: Monitor memory and CPU usage compared to previous version
## Troubleshooting
### Common Migration Issues
#### Database Permission Errors
```
Error: unable to open database file
```
**Solution**:
```bash
sudo chown -R skyview:skyview /var/lib/skyview/
sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/skyview/
sudo chmod 644 /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db
```
#### Migration Failures
```
Error: migration failed at version X
```
**Solution**:
```bash
# Stop service
sudo systemctl stop skyview
# Remove corrupted database
sudo rm /var/lib/skyview/skyview.db
# Restart service (will recreate database)
sudo systemctl start skyview
```
#### Configuration Conflicts
```
Error: unknown configuration field 'database'
```
**Solution**: Update configuration file with new sections, or reset to default configuration.
### Rolling Back
If you need to revert to the previous version:
```bash
# Stop current service
sudo systemctl stop skyview
# Install previous package version
sudo apt install skyview-adsb=[previous-version]
# Remove database directory (optional)
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/skyview/
# Restore original configuration
sudo cp /etc/skyview/config.json.backup /etc/skyview/config.json
# Start service
sudo systemctl start skyview
```
⚠️ **Note**: Rolling back will lose all historical aircraft data stored in the database.
## Performance Impact
### Expected Changes
#### Memory Usage
- **Before**: ~50-100MB RAM for aircraft tracking
- **After**: ~30-60MB RAM (reduced due to database storage)
#### Disk Usage
- **Database**: ~10-50MB depending on retention settings and traffic
- **Backups**: Additional ~10-50MB for migration backups
#### Startup Time
- **Before**: 1-2 seconds
- **After**: 2-5 seconds (database initialization)
### Optimization Recommendations
#### For High-Traffic Environments
```json
{
"database": {
"max_history_days": 3,
"backup_on_upgrade": false
},
"settings": {
"history_limit": 100
}
}
```
#### For Resource-Constrained Systems
```json
{
"callsign": {
"enabled": false
},
"database": {
"max_history_days": 1
}
}
```
