New Install - Timeout Error

[kwarner04]

I'm having trouble with a new install where it keeps saying "could not start connection. Timout" when starting the rbfeeder service.

Running on Raspberry Pi Model 3 B+, Fresh Raspbian Lite Install

I've got dump-1090 running in Docker with multiple feeders connected (PiAware, FR24, ADBX) and working so I know it's not an issue with my

Here's what my rbfeeder.ini file looks like (I've mode of beast and raw and get the same result):

Code: [Select]

$ cat /etc/rbfeeder.ini
[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log

key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[network]
mode=raw
external_port=30005
external_host=192.168.10.11

[mlat]
#autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/mlat-client

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true
Here's the systemctl status output: https://pastebin.com/raw/9atqjRib

The strange thing is, I have rbfeeder running in docker using an old version (RBFeeder Version 0.4.3 (build 20210909231001)) and that connects fine. So it seems like there's some issue with the new build and the connection.

Let me know what other information you need.

[abcd567]

(1) With port 30005, it should be mode=beast

(2) Why are you using setting "external_host=192.168.10.11" instead of "external_host=127.0.0.1"? Is your decoder (dump1090-fa or dump1090-mutability etc) not installed on same Pi on which you have installed rbfeeder?

(3) Please post output of following command

Code: [Select]

sudo journalctl -u rbfeeder -n 20 



(4) For your reference, below is my file /etc/rbfeeder.ini which woks perfectly well
NOTE:
(a) My OS is Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye
(b) I have installed mlat-client and added my latitude, longitude, and altitude for enabling mlat
(c) My rbfeeder version:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ apt-cache policy rbfeeder | grep Installed
  Installed: 1:1.0.7



cat /etc/rbfeeder.ini

[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log
key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
sn=EXTRPI000008

lat=43.5xxxx
lon=-79.6xxxxx
alt=1xx

[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1

[mlat]
autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/mlat-client

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true

Thanks for getting back to me. I've made the changes you recommended but I'm still getting the same errors.

* I've  updated my rbfeeder.ini file to be BEAST (I'm getting the same error using both BEAST and RAW)
* I was using the local IP for the pi as I assumed you needed to  point to the external IP, not localhost. But I changed it to localhost (127.0.0.1). (Still getting error regardless of whether I  use IP of pi or localhost IP.)
* Per your request, here's the output of  systemctl: https://pastebin.com/raw/syg51Dh9
(It's not letting me post the code, keeps flagging as spam. So I've posted a link to the pastebin of the output.)

I know the feeder software is working as I found a windows command program (https://www.satsignal.eu/raspberry-pi/dump1090.html) that reads the data and I'm seeing live data. Of course, that's from Windows, but when I connect to the IP of the pi and port 30005, I can see the ADSB data streaming in.

[abcd567]

(1) Possibly your router's Firewall is blocking connection to Radarbox24 servers. What is output of this command:

ping google.com -c 3



(2) Following output of netstat shows that
rbfeeder is using ports 32004, 32457, 32458, and 32459
dump1090-fa is using ports 30002, 30003, 30004, 30005, 30104, 30105

You can check output by installing netcat (sudo apt install netcat), then check output on port by this command:

nc 127.0.0.1 port-number

For example, to check on port 30003:

nc 127.0.0.1 30003

To break continous stream of data, press Ctrl and c keys together.

So I did a little more testing this afternoon. I swapped the repo from bullseye to buster and with that I was able to install version 0.4.3 (build 20210909231001) That version connects just fine with no issues.

https://pastebin.com/raw/Ej8QZ3CR

Thinking maybe there is an issue with the initial handshake to get the sharing key, I put that key in my rbfeeder.ini file and it connected just fine.

Now with a working installation, if I swap the repo back to bullseye and install 1.0.7 and don't change anything else, I'm back to the timeout errors.

(1) Install netbase

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install netbase   

sudo reboot 



(2) Uninstall ver 0.4.3, switch to Bullseye repository, and install rbfeeder ver 1.0.7, and reboot RPi.

Hopefully this will solve connection issue. If not, uninstall ver 1.0.7, revert to Buster repo and install ver 0.4.3

Your problem is dump978.
Your rbfeeder is trying to connect to dump978, but cannot connect.

Have you installed dump978?
If yes, then which one, flightaware one (dump978-fa) OR Radarbox one (dump978-rb).

Please post output of following commands which will show if any dump978 is installed, and if yes, then which of the two dump978 have been installed on your Pi

Code: [Select]

apt-cache policy dump1090-fa   

apt-cache policy dump1090-rb

Sorry to be a pain. I am trying to do a clean install on a Pi 3 and seem to be going round in circles. Is there a script in words of one syllable please similar to the bake a pi thread of 2017 with the latest set up.
Dave.

I'm really desperate.
I was able to disable the Dump978 that I do not use in my area.
but the dongle is not yet sending data to the server
Maybe it's related to last week's FR24 update.
Since then the problem has also started in RB.

Your previous post suggests that the Pi is not able to find dump1090, which version do you have installed in RB
