# SkyView Database Management SkyView includes a comprehensive database management system for enriching aircraft callsigns with airline and airport information. ## Quick Start ### 1. Check Current Status ```bash skyview-data status ``` ### 2. Import Safe Data (Recommended) ```bash # Import public domain sources automatically skyview-data update ``` ### 3. Enable Automatic Updates (Optional) ```bash # Weekly updates on Sunday at 3 AM sudo systemctl enable --now skyview-database-update.timer ``` ## Available Data Sources ### Safe Sources (Public Domain) These sources are imported automatically with `skyview-data update`: - **OurAirports**: Comprehensive airport database (public domain) - **FAA Registry**: US aircraft registration data (public domain) ### License-Required Sources These require explicit acceptance: - **OpenFlights**: Airline and airport data (AGPL-3.0 license) ## Commands ### Basic Operations ```bash skyview-data list # Show available sources skyview-data status # Show database status skyview-data update # Update safe sources skyview-data import openflights # Import licensed source skyview-data clear # Remove source data ``` ### Systemd Timer Management ```bash # Enable weekly automatic updates systemctl enable skyview-database-update.timer systemctl start skyview-database-update.timer # Check timer status systemctl status skyview-database-update.timer # View update logs journalctl -u skyview-database-update.service # Disable automatic updates systemctl disable skyview-database-update.timer ``` ## License Compliance SkyView maintains strict license separation: - **SkyView binary**: Contains no external data (stays MIT licensed) - **Runtime import**: Users choose which sources to import - **Safe defaults**: Only public domain sources updated automatically - **User choice**: Each person decides their own license compatibility ## Troubleshooting ### Check Service Status ```bash systemctl status skyview-database-update.timer journalctl -u skyview-database-update.service -f ``` ### Manual Database Reset ```bash systemctl stop skyview-database-update.timer skyview-data reset --force skyview-data update systemctl start skyview-database-update.timer ``` ### Permissions Issues ```bash sudo chown skyview:skyview /var/lib/skyview/ sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/skyview/ ``` ## Files and Directories - `/usr/bin/skyview-data` - Database management command - `/var/lib/skyview/skyview.db` - Database file - `/usr/share/skyview/scripts/update-database.sh` - Cron helper script - `/lib/systemd/system/skyview-database-update.*` - Systemd timer files For detailed information, see `man skyview-data`.
