Can't generated valid Feeder ID (timeout)

Hi Mike,

I'm having an issue setting up a new receiver based with and amd64 processor (actually an old dell PC with Ubuntu 20.04). I followed the new guide, but it didn't work. (BTW, there's probably an error on the first line, should be radarbox instead of piaware, right?)

docker pull mikenye/piaware:latest
source ./.env
timeout 60 docker run \
    --rm \
    -it \
    --network adsb_default \
    -e BEASTHOST=readsb \
    -e LAT=${FEEDER_LAT} \
    -e LONG=${FEEDER_LONG} \
    -e ALT=${FEEDER_ALT_M} \
    mikenye/radarbox

After running it without any Feeder ID declared on .env and no mention to rbfeeder cointainer on docker-compose.yml, it gives me an ID and then a lot of timeout errors. The generated IDs are never claimable on radarbox website.

Running without timeout changes nothing:

When I use an existing Feeder ID with or without the appropriate sections on docker-compose.yml, it runs fine without issue.

Running the command to generate the sharing key is simply designed to connect to radarbox and generate a sharing key, and that's it.

The command you've shown just runs the feeder for a minute, which is enough time for it to generate the sharing key and then quit.

I can see in your output above, that you have been granted a sharing key. You can ignore all the other errors - that's normal. The only outcome from running that command is to get the sharing key.

Hi Mike,

The problem is that the generated IDs are never validated on RB website. Looks like it needs some real data to be sent to Radarbox, the logs show "0 packets sent".

Hi @luciodaou,

Did you go to https://www.radarbox.com/raspberry-pi/claim and claim your feeder?

I just went through the process, and have confirmed that it works:

$ timeout 300s docker run     --rm     -it     -e BEASTHOST=x.x.x.x     -e LAT=33.33333     -e LONG=111.11111     -e ALT=30m     mikenye/radarbox
