@FabienLavocat Thank you for this helpful and simple explanation on how to make this work.

I forked your gist and made a small update to make piaware install now under raspbian stretch. Full disclosure: I found someone else's solution here.

Unless I'm missing something, I can't make a pull request on a gist.

Good

Line 11: pool.sks-keyservers.net seems to be dead, replaced with keyserver.ubuntu.com to be able to continue

@dome2048 I updated to the latest piaware version 5.0
@ggeorgiev2001 Thanks, I updated the URL

Thanks for this script, both FA and FR24 are working within less then 15 minutes :-).

It is necessary to finish the configuration of PiAware by entering the feeder ID by typing the following in the console

sudo piaware-config feeder-id your-feeder-id-here

I noticed that MLAT is not active on the FL24 installation. Is there a way to activate it ?

@spinko101 for MLAT you will need to provide your coordinates when setting up your account with the command sudo fr24feed --signup

thanks !

I am getting trouble when installing both, due to fighting about the dump-connection. I use a fr24-raspberry-image, maybe I should use clean raspberry?

@Flums I haven't touched that script in ages, maybe the installation bits have changed. Try to go over the steps one by one.
