How to permanently enable RTL-SDR Blog V3 biast using the rtl_eeprom command in your fr24feed-piaware docker
I wish to enable the biast permanently so the change can survive a reboot of my Unraid server.
During this process you will need to disable some of the fr24feed-piaware services that would otherwise lock down your ability to edit the eeprom… and you'll also install some things in the docker image temporarily, you'll make the change to your dongle (eeprom settings), and finally you'll re-enable the fr24feed-piaware docker settings in Unraid.
These changes you'll make in the Docker image should all disappear when we restart the image, leaving only your RTL-SDR Blog dongle with it's new biast setting turned on
Here is what I did, step-by-step… please do so at your own risk.
In your Unraid menu, select the Docker tab
"Stop" the fr24feed-piaware docker from running
"Edit" the fr24feed-piaware docker settings
Set each of the following container variables to "false"
- SERVICE_ENABLE_PIAWARE
- SERVICE_ENABLE_ADSBEXCHANGE
- SERVICE_ENABLE_PLANEFINDER
- SERVICE_ENABLE_DUMP1090
- SERVICE_ENABLE_FR24FEED
-
SERVICE_ENABLE_HTTP
(possibly overkill disabling all these, but doesn't hurt as we'll re-enable them shortly)
"Apply" the settings to the Docker image
Check the fr24feed-piaware docker is running
Click the fr24feed-piaware icon, select "Console"
Once in the console... enter all the following commands without the talkies (' ') on either side
Type in 'cd ~' and hit enter
Type in 'apt-get update' and hit enter (agree to proceed if asked)
Type in 'apt-get install git cmake build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev' and hit enter (agree to proceed if asked)
Type in 'git clone https://github.com/rtlsdrblog/rtl-sdr-blog' and hit enter
Type in 'cd rtl-sdr-blog' and hit enter
Type in 'mkdir build' and hit enter
Type in 'cd build' and hit enter
Type in 'cmake .. -DDETACH_KERNEL_DRIVER=ON' and hit enter
Type in 'make' and hit enter
Type in 'cd src' and hit enter
*** From here you can either enable biast permanently or just this once ***
To enable the biast just this once - Type in './rtl_biast -b 1' and hit enter (I did this step first, then the next, probably unnecessary)
To enable the biast permanently - Type in '.rtl_eeprom -b y' and hit enter
*** You may be asked to commit the changes to your dongle, note down any settings changes just for good measure ***
Close the console window once you're done with making these changes
Back in the Unraid menu… go to the Docker tab
"Stop" the fr24feed-piaware docker from running
"Edit" the fr24feed-piaware docker settings
Set each of the following container variables back to "true" (or whatever ones you had enabled previously)
- SERVICE_ENABLE_PIAWARE
- SERVICE_ENABLE_ADSBEXCHANGE
- SERVICE_ENABLE_PLANEFINDER
- SERVICE_ENABLE_DUMP1090
- SERVICE_ENABLE_FR24FEED
- SERVICE_ENABLE_HTTP
"Apply" the settings to the Docker image
Check the fr24feed-piaware docker is running
*** You may need to reboot your server for the changes to take effect on your dongle ***
*** Effectively you'll test to see if the dongle retains the biast setting (if that was your goal) by shutting down your server ***
I hope this helps somebody else.
it can not be done with just this. i have tryied many many things, also "enabled the epprom always active" but to find out it needs the new driver to get it to work.
apt-get install git cmake build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev

Got this up and running and works great! Appreciate all the work that went into the development.
My RTL-SDR Device seems to keep moving Port/Device. For example, it will be on Port 001 Device 025 and the move to Port 001 Device 023. When it does that, the docker will crash and stop. Is there anyway to fix this?re-start your container

I can see my usb device in unraid with lsusb, but i'm not seeing it in the docker config under /dev/bus/usb/001/ or any other locations under /dev/
anyone else seeing anything similar?
find your sdr on Tools>sytem devices. then on docker Extra Parameters: put it there. and RTL-SDR Device: also

can somebody include the library for bias tee? (i have a rtl-sdr v3) and it is a nightmare to enable it. also please edit the first post, i have found a way to control the gain with "DUMP1090_ADDITIONAL_ARGS:" if somebody has a hard time to do find it

i have a rtl sdr v3, it works right away, i needed to have the official drivers so to enable bias tee, i did it by following a guide to clone a docker and create your custom one. so far it is perfect.
