Make sure that you meet the hardware requirements if you plan to install your own Flarmradar server. There are server software packages available for Debian-based Systems (Debian, Ubuntu and derived friends). Other distributions must install the zip-files available for download.

Software Installation & Testing

1. Download the client package from http://www.flarmradar.ch/public/dist/server/pkg/

$ wget http://www.flarmradar.ch/public/dist/server/pkg/flarmradar_<version>_all.deb

2. Install the package

$ sudo -i dpkg -i flarmradar_<version>_all.deb

The package creates a new user 'flarm' which owns the Flarmradar server process and files.

3. Start the server

$ sudo su -l -c "/opt/flarmradar/flarmradar.sh stop" flarm

Once that the server has started, it is available on ​http://localhost:8080/radar/. Note that the server is just listening on the local interface and not (yet) accessible over the network. This is for security reason.

Finish up the installation
