SkyView for Debian
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
SkyView is a multi-source ADS-B aircraft tracker with comprehensive database integration
|
|
for enhanced aviation data and callsign lookup functionality.
|
|
|
|
Post-Installation Setup
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
After installation, SkyView automatically:
|
|
- Creates skyview-adsb user and required directories
|
|
- Initializes SQLite database with aviation data sources
|
|
- Configures systemd services
|
|
|
|
Required Configuration
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Edit the main configuration file:
|
|
/etc/skyview-adsb/config.json
|
|
|
|
Update at minimum:
|
|
- Source coordinates (latitude/longitude) for your ADS-B receiver locations
|
|
- Origin coordinates for map center
|
|
- ADS-B receiver connection details (host/port)
|
|
|
|
See /usr/share/doc/skyview-adsb/CONFIGURATION.md for complete configuration options.
|
|
|
|
Service Management
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
SkyView includes two systemd services:
|
|
|

|
sudo systemctl start skyview-adsb
|
|
sudo systemctl enable skyview-adsb # Auto-start on boot
|
|
sudo systemctl status skyview-adsb
|
|
sudo journalctl -u skyview-adsb -f # View logs
|
|
|
|
Database Update Service (runs weekly):
|
|
sudo systemctl start skyview-database-update # Manual update
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now skyview-database-update.timer # Enable weekly updates
|
|
sudo systemctl status skyview-database-update.timer
|
|
|
|
Database Management
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
View database status:
|
|
skyview-data -config /etc/skyview-adsb/config.json status
|
|
|
|
Update aviation databases:
|
|
skyview-data -config /etc/skyview-adsb/config.json update
|
|
|
|
Optimize database storage:
|
|
skyview-data -config /etc/skyview-adsb/config.json optimize
|
|
|
|
List available data sources:
|
|
skyview-data -config /etc/skyview-adsb/config.json list
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Access the web interface at: http://localhost:8080
|
|
|
|
Features include:
|
|
- Real-time aircraft tracking map
|
|
- Enhanced callsign information with airline details

|
|
- Private temporary directories and device access restrictions
|
|
- Restricted namespaces and capabilities
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
1. Check main service status:
|
|
sudo systemctl status skyview-adsb
|
|
|
|
2. View recent logs:
|
|
sudo journalctl -u skyview-adsb --no-pager -l
|
|
|
|
3. Test database connectivity:
|
|
skyview-data -config /etc/skyview-adsb/config.json status
|
|
|
|
4. Manual database update:
|
|
sudo -u skyview-adsb skyview-data -config /etc/skyview-adsb/config.json update
|
|
|
|
5. Check ADS-B source connectivity:
|
|
telnet <receiver_host> <receiver_port>
|
|
|
|
6. View database information in web interface:
|
|
http://localhost:8080/database
|
|
