@meijin I was traveling when you submitted the last messages, sorry for the delay. I'm trying to fix this issue locally and will publish an update as soon as I figure out. Thanks!

meijin commented on 2024-08-17 09:35 (UTC)

@rsa any update on that problem?

meijin commented on 2024-08-01 07:14 (UTC)

@rsa the package is unusable for now and I had to downgrade to the -2 version

After your latest changes, it fails to read the config file:

Apr 25 17:44:07 alarm fr24feed[135453]: fr24key is not set or is empty

But the key is in the /etc/fr24feed.ini file

In 1.0.48-3, I tightened the systemd sandbox as much as possible (you can check with systemd-analyze security fr24feed.service), disallowing access I noticed the software doesn't need to function. Please let me know if something stops working for you.

The error below has been fixed in 1.0.48-2 by means of moving the descriptor file from /dev/shm (where it had no write access) to /run/flightradar24

The binary can't run as a non-root user, it starts to spill the following message in the logs:

write_locked - missing monitor file pointer

Longer snippet of the logs:

It works without this error message if I remove the User= entry in the service file. Tested on different machines, had the same issue.

I've added a service file and listed dump978 in optdepends.

With 1.0.46, FR24 added a feeder for UAT (978) planes. By my understanding, this is only used in the US. This PKGBUILD does not install the binaries or service for this, though they are included in the .deb files sourced by FR24 themselves.

I am not very familiar with making or modifying PKGBUILD files, but since I was already feeding UAT (through dump978-fa, which is required) to other services, I was able to modify the PKGBUILD with the following package() section:

package() {
  install -Dm755 -t "$pkgdir/usr/bin" usr/bin/fr24feed usr/bin/fr24feed-status usr/bin/fr24feed-signup-uat usr/bin/fr24uat-feed-status
  install -Dm644 usr/share/fr24/licences/LICENSE.fr24feed.txt "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"
  install -Dm644 -t "$pkgdir/etc" etc/fr24feed.ini

  install -Dm644 -t "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system" fr24feed.service etc/systemd/system/fr24uat-feed.service
  install -Dm644 flightradar24.sysusers "$pkgdir/usr/lib/sysusers.d/$pkgname.conf"

  # hostname: invalid option -- 'I'
  # Try 'hostname --help' or 'hostname --usage' for more information.
  install -Dm755 -t "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname" hostname
}
