Server Settings

Treat Server Settings as infrastructure and maintenance.

1. Web Server Port and Admin Port

Web Server Port

  • Port used by the public radar (/AircraftList.json, map frontend).

Admin Port

  • Port used by the admin panel (/admin).
  • Recommended: use a dedicated admin port, separate from radar.

If AdminPort = 0 or equals WebServerPort, admin endpoints share the same port as public radar, which increases exposure.

2. Network Binding

This setting controls whether the server listens on:

  1. localhost only,
  2. all interfaces (0.0.0.0) for LAN/VPN/public routing.

A restart is required after changing binding behavior.

3. Radar Visibility

This setting controls radar authentication:

  1. Public - radar is accessible without login.
  2. Private - radar requires authentication.

This is independent from Network Binding.

4. Database and Imports

Database File Name

  • SQLite database file path/name.
  • Changing it may require restart.

Data import options

  • OpenSky CSV
  • ADS-B Exchange JSON/NDJSON
  • Airport CSV (OurAirports-compatible)
  1. Confirm source URL is valid and in expected format.
  2. Run import.
  3. Check server logs.
  4. Verify results on map/list.

5. Configuration Backup

This section provides:

  1. settings export,
  2. settings import.

After importing configuration:

  1. verify ports,
  2. verify binding,
  3. restart service if required.

6. Danger Zone

Clear Application Data removes critical data (configuration, users, mappings, database).

Use only when:

  1. performing full instance reset,
  2. current backups exist,
  3. irreversible data loss is accepted.
