Solari1090

A lightweight Solari-style (flip-board) arrivals and departures display powered by dump1090 / SkyAware ADS-B data.
Designed for local receivers to show nearby aircraft in a clean airport-style board.

Features

• Arrivals and Departures views
• Uses dump1090 aircraft.json feed
• Airline guess from callsign prefix
• Shows altitude, distance, ground speed, climb/descend trend
• Optional status labels (TAKE OFF / LANDING / LANDED / LOW ALT)
• Simple PHP backend — no database required
• No build step (plain PHP + static assets)
• Admin panel for configuration via browser

Requirements

• PHP 7.4+ compatible web server
• dump1090 / SkyAware instance with accessible JSON feed

Installation

1. Copy the project files to your web server directory.
2. Edit config.php:
   • Set your dump1090/SkyAware base URL
   • Set airport name and coordinates
   • Set the admin password
3. Ensure the server can write the cache file (state_cache.json).
4. Open index.php in your browser.

Admin Panel

The project includes a simple password-protected admin interface.

Access

Open:

admin.php

Login

• Uses a single password defined in config.php
• No username required
• Session-based authentication

Example in config.php:

$config['admin_password'] = 'changeme';

⚠️ Change this password before deploying publicly.

Features

The admin panel allows you to:

• Edit configuration values directly in the browser
• Update receiver URL and airport settings
• Adjust display thresholds and limits
• Save changes back to config.php
• Log out securely

No database is used — all settings remain file-based.

Configuration

All settings are located in config.php, including:

• Airport location
• Display radius
• Altitude limits
• Arrival/departure thresholds
• Status detection options
• Cache file location
• Admin password

Adjust these values to match your receiver location and desired coverage.

API

The frontend retrieves data from:

• api.php?mode=departures
• api.php?mode=arrivals

The API fetches aircraft data from dump1090, filters nearby traffic, determines trend-based movement, and returns formatted rows for display.

Notes

• Results depend on receiver placement and coverage.
• Threshold tuning may be required for best classification.
• Designed for hobbyist ADS-B setups.
