Version 2.8.5 now available in the master branch.

[jprochazka]

Debian Trixie and Ubuntu Noble support has been added using an as of this time an unofficial fix to the piaware_builder source code. I have submitted a pull request containing the fixes to the main piaware_builder repository but it has not gone through the approval process yet. Until this or another fix is approved, I modified the scripts to use my fork of piaware_builder when Trixie or Noble is detected. All other supported distributions use the official piaware_builder repository. Although tested, the use of PiAware on Trixie or Noble based distributions should be considered "use at your own risk" until the official repository adds support for them.

A working version of the previously removed logging functionality has been readded. Each time the scripts are ran a dated log file is generated within the ~/adsb-receiver/logs directory. These logs can be used to help troubleshoot issues which may have been encountered or used as reference to view exactly what the scripts have done. By default, logging is turned on but can be disabled with the use the --no-logging of -n switches when executing install.sh.

Other changes include an updated dump1090-fa installation process which mimics the instructions found in the official FlightAware dump1090 README and the ability to change text colors used by the install scripts via variables located in the ~/adsb-receiver/bash/variables.sh file. There has also been extensive work done to bring the scripts to current bash scripting standards.

Version 2.8.5 CHANGELOG

• The PiAware installation script now supports Ubuntu Noble Numbat. (unofficial fix)
• The installation of PiAware is no longer required when choosing to install dump1090-fa.
• The dump1090-fa installation script now mimics the current dump1090-fa installation instructions.
• All scripts excluding those related to the portal now utilize the new logging functions.
• Logging to the logs directory is enabled by default but can be disabled with --no-logging or -n.
• Added variables which can be modified to adjust text colors used by the bash scripts.
• Added the --version and -v arguments in order to display the current project version.
• Additional script cleanup done to various files.
• Removed scripting used for image setup.
• Updated the latest Flightradar24 Client version to 1.0.48-0.

Work on the ADS-B Portal was slowed since the last update due to the work being done on the installer. With the installer now pretty much where I want it for the time being I am looking forward to once again dedicating more time to working on the backend. A development update will be posted once there is more to report.
