  • Raspberry Pi alternatives?
    1 project | /r/ADSB | 3 Mar 2022
    a 5-10 year old laptop should have no problem running a feeder. just install your Linux distro of choice, plug in the SDR, and get tar1090 or readsb running. (I'd recommend the readsb-protobuf docker containers)
  • Python3 script to profile dump1090 output and maintain all-time records/statistics - any interest?
    5 projects | /r/ADSB | 2 Jan 2022
    this sub recently turned me on to readsb-protobuf, which is a more modern decoder that fills the same role as dump1090. there's a really nice Docker container that packages it up, and includes an output to InfluxDB, a time-series database. so you could potentially build this as a set of queries against an Influx instance, rather than maintaining your own state in a JSON file.
  • Self Hosting ADSB Radar for feeding 2 sources?
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 15 Jun 2021
    Mikenye’s Adsb docker images are freaking amazing. Use readadsb-protobuf, piaware and graph1090 and you will have your own flight tracker and be able to feed to various sources. I’ve been running this for about a year (prior I ran it barebones).

    https://github.com/mikenye/docker-readsb-protobuf This guy has a great collections of docker containers that can feed to a large number of websites and even save all messages to influxdb for later use, it can use the USB SDR directly from the container. Here is the documentation for it: https://mikenye.gitbook.io/ads-b/
