Looking to get back into ADSB, long time ago ran on windows.
I no longer have an FR24 key, not sure i ever had a feeder ID.
How do i get these keys from the websites without having to install piaware on a pi which seems to be required step to get the keys in the first place?
Or is there a way to bootstrap using this image?

Ok here is the procedure i used:

  1. start the docker (all files mapped but feed keys left as default)
  2. interactively connect via terminal
  3. ran fr24feed --signup
  4. copied key into the fr24feed.ini
  5. ran the flight aware claim link https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/claim (though oddly it sees two sites, no idea what that is about) found a page that had the feederID, which oddly i can't find it again.
  6. destroyed container and recreated with final settings.
  7. ran new container
  8. realized my feederid had changed (found page https://flightaware.com/adsb/stats/user/
  9. to get MLAT working I configured my position in the site Blank piaware but working site #8 above and added these to the fr24feed.ini:
mlat="yes"
mlat-without-gps="yes"
