Set Location and Height of Site

Go to your stats page:

Click on the gear icon to the right of your site name, and configure location and height.

Changing Feeder ID

The feeder ID is assigned when the feeder first connects, and is stored in the PiAware instance. If you redeploy PiAware, a new feeder ID is assigned and will look like a new site on FlightAware. If you want to continue using the same site after redeploying, you need to manually reconfigure the feeder ID.

• Find the feeder ID that you want to use. Go to: https://flightaware.com/adsb/stats/user/yourusername. The feeder ID is labeled "Unique Identifier",
• Using Portainer, open a console on the PiAware instance and enter:

piaware-config feeder-id

• Paste the unique identifier.
• Restart piaware
