front_end_proxy to another port (not 80)?

Hi, very happy with the ADS-B Flight Tracker release, is working like a charm.
Got one question, I want to expose the functionality by using the public/URL which redirects back to my port 80 (to Planefinder in my case).

Any means to expose it (internally) to port 8080 (which is PiAware / SkyAware)?

Tips & hints are appreciated.

@rjwelling - open the public device URL, change https to http and add :8080 onto the end. Try that.

Hi @rjwelling,

Glad to hear that you are enjoying balena-ads-b. I just found your question and wanted to give you a reply – even though I’m late to the table. The different tracking frontends can be accessed over the balena proxy using different URL paths. Here they are:

https://yourdeviceurl.balena-devices.com/ → SkyAware (FlightAware)
https://yourdeviceurl.balena-devices.com/skyaware → SkyAware (FlightAware) (Same as above)
https://yourdeviceur.balena-devices.com/skyware978 → SkyAwareUAT (only when UAT is enabled)
https://yourdeviceur.balena-devices.com/planefinder → PlaneFinder
https://yourdeviceur.balena-devices.com/fr24feed → Flightradar

That’s it. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
