    Code to export Virtual Radar Server flight records and track logs to a MySQL database.

    I am a software developer and interested in building my own ADSB receiver without feeding data to feeders like FlightAware. Most tutorials I look at are for feeding data to third parties. I would like to store nearby aircraft data myself, analyse it and display it on my own map. Are there many open source options for me to do this? I've heard of RTL1090 and VRS flights db but I'm not sure how extensible they are (e.g. if I would like to plot aircraft on Google Maps, for example).

    Solutions to common problems for rtl_sdr / ADS-B stuff

    If you don't want to feed any of the sites you don't have to, just install the decoder. I would recommend using wiedehopf's fork of readsb (which is a fork of dump1090) and tar1090 for a map display. He has a script which will install it here: https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/wiki/Automatic-installation-for-readsb
