As a Pi owner I usually run _apt update/upgrade_ whenever there’s a security announcement or when I haven’t done it for a while, and usually there’s no need to reboot. However, with the ADSB-x setup, it always seems to need a reboot, so I’m wondering when and how often we need to update? ---

Honestly you rarely if ever need to update the feeder in the standard config and there has not been an update released to the feeding software in over a year. If you have SSH or anything forwarded to the outside though you should keep updates on the Pi. Be advised there is a bug right now that updating to the Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm will break MLAT so I would not upgrade the OS version for the time being until we can update our repository. ---

Thanks for that! My ADSBX box is on my network but isolated from everything else, so should be okay. Very impressive software by the way - really designed with users in mind! ---

How did you isolate it from the rest of your network? I tried doing that using the Guest side of my router, but that didn’t work. ---

I have a small network of 3 boxes other than the ADSB box. I already run the Linux **ufw** firewall on the other boxes, so I just set up rules on the other boxes to not allow access to the ADSB box. It may not be perfect, but it works. ---

Ok, thanks for the help!
