Hi! Can anyone help me to reload Planefinder on my RPi after I had to re-image my SD card?
I would like to continue using my existing share code.
Many thanks
 
(1) Before re-imaging microSD card with Piaware SD card image, on existing install do this to recover your share code:

Code: 
sudo nano /etc/pfclient-config.json

You will see a very long line. Scroll right to see it in full. Copy-paste the entire line to a text file like note-pad on your desktop/laptop. At the end of this line you will see your share code. Save the text file to preserve your share code, and use this in freash install.



(2) After reimaging with Piaware SD card image, go to this post and scroll down to "STEP 3- Installation of Data feeder" and follow instructions.

Raspberry Pi (B+, Zero, RPi2, RPi3 & RPi4) - Installation instructions for Raspbian, Dump1090 & Data Feeder

Last Update: December 05, 2021 What you need is 3 components as follows: STEP-1: An operating system like "Raspberry Pi OS". STEP-2: A decoder software "dump1090" STEP-3: Planefinder's data feeding software pfclient. STEP 1- INSTALL OPERATING SYSTEM 1.1 - Download Raspberry Pi OS Lite image...
