April 15, 20197 yr Application Name: fr24feed-piaware Application Site: https://www.flightradar24.com/share-your-data https://uk.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/ https://github.com/mutability/dump1090 Github Repo: https://github.com/Thom-x/docker-fr24feed-piaware-dump1090-mutability Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/thomx/fr24feed-piaware Template Repo: https://github.com/FoxxMD/unraid-docker-templates Overview This image contains: Piaware (Flightaware ADS-B and MLAT ground station software/feed) fr24feed (FlightRadar24 ADS-B software feed) Dump1090 for receiving and parsing data to the above software Simple HTTP Server to display received data (aircraft positions/track) on a real-time map It sets up the above software with your RTL-SDR device (RTL2832) so that you can receive ADS-B/MLAT data through your antennae and transmit it to Flightaware/FlightRadar24. Additionally it serves a simple OpenStreetMap map with overlays of aircraft position/track that your device is receiving. Installation Follow the provided instructions on the docker github repository, most of the configuration file bindings are provided in the unraid template. Just follow the README instructions, copy the samples and edit as necessary, and fill in the host paths in the config entries in the template. Terrain-limit rings are not included in the template. Simply add a path binding to your upinair.json file at the given container path if you want to include it. Instructions on how to passthrough your RTL-SDR USB device to the container can be found here. Usage After starting the container feed activity can be seen in the container log. The aircraft map overlay can be found at http://IP:httpPort/gmap.html
April 15, 20197 yr I have absolutely no need for this, but it's very cool. Just wondering about drivers for the ADS-B Receiver? They present by default in the Unraid Linux kernel?
April 15, 20197 yr Author I'm not sure about driver support but both this container and another CA app I templated use software sourced from OsmoSDR -- their software supports a large number of sdr chipsets/products and far as I can tell they have good coverage on upstream repos. Edit: This container in particular blacklists the default driver (which I believe is present in unraid, dvb_usb_rtl28xxu) and compiles rtl_sdr from source. I'm not sure how shinysdr does it but since it installs gnuradio-dev I'm sure it's doing something similar. Edited April 15, 20197 yr by FoxxMD
April 16, 20197 yr The driver is not necessary since it references the /dev/bus/usb directly. Having the blacklist in the docker file is also a bit unnecessary. I am in the process (when I get time) to rewrite my raspberry pi version into multi-arch. https://github.com/ShoGinn/docker-ads-b So many ways to feed ADSB
April 17, 20197 yr Author @ShoGinn thanks for the insight! I'd much rather be running dump1090/fa/fr as separate dockers and yours look very clean. Please let me know when you get to multi-arch! Edited April 17, 20197 yr by FoxxMD
April 20, 20197 yr Just an update, after hours of work to try and get my ci/cd platform to do multi-arch builds I was able to break it all up. Next step is to make a template for each container. If you are curious and want to mess around with it. Its 7 components with dump1090 being of course the rtlsdr component. It is using the latest and greatest versions of all. https://github.com/ShoGinn/dump1090 https://github.com/ShoGinn/adsbexchange-mlat https://github.com/ShoGinn/adsbhub https://github.com/ShoGinn/flightaware https://github.com/ShoGinn/flightradar24 https://github.com/ShoGinn/openskynetwork https://github.com/ShoGinn/planefinder
April 22, 20197 yr Would you be able to add airspy_adsb in your container? As I don't want to lose the binary every time the docker is updated. https://airspy.com/download/
April 22, 20197 yr @mAYH3M im confused by your request, air spy isn't even an active component in this container. Are you asking for air spy to be the replacement for dump1090?

April 24, 20197 yr I say take the wheel ;) you already started this ADSB train.. let me know how I can support otherwise.

April 24, 20197 yr again @mAYH3M I don't see the benefit to adding airspy_adsb to any one of the 7 containers I posted. dump1090 does the same thing.
April 26, 20197 yr Not sure the interest in this as well.. but I have a Virtual Radar Server docker that is pretty sweet as well.. its amd64 only (which works great for Unraid!) https://hub.docker.com/r/shoginn/vrs If you want to see what its about http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk
April 28, 20197 yr got my Realtek RTL2838, got it configured and all running but I need to get some decent antennas of fabricate one my self and get a long cable to extend to my reach to the skies lol Thanks for the work mate with the 2 antennas provided with the USB I managed to pick up a couple of flights, this is awesome Edited April 28, 20197 yr by PSYCHOPATHiO update
April 29, 20197 yr Just now, ShoGinn said: @PSYCHOPATHiO its an unfortunate addiction looooooooool im on amazon getting antennas & stuff & on my second screen I got the monitor up. Any recommendations for antenna or other equipment to get I even attached its own with lets encrypt link to monitor outside the house. not much activity though https://fr.sykorp.net/gmap.html
April 29, 20197 yr I recommend you check out VRS and it provides a much cooler interface to output to the world https://github.com/ShoGinn/virtualradarserver-docker https://hub.docker.com/r/shoginn/vrs -- its homepage http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/

Going to keep one for tracking flights and the other for messing around with frequencies. I will probably use the new dongle on a windows VM and test VRS & others software. @FoxxMD This is all your fault

Fortunately its a relatively cheap hobby at least until you want to start transmitting... 😬 I'm using the same configuration right now -- one receiver/antennae for dump1090-piaware-etc. and one beefier receiver/antennae for use with my ShinySDR container for messing around. On that note ethough, @PSYCHOPATHiO let me know if you run into any issues passing through both devices, I'm struggling with my second device. P.S. @ShoGinn I'm still planning on writing templates for your dockers! I have been in the process of moving these last two weeks so haven't had much spare time.. Edited May 1, 20197 yr by FoxxMD

I started fiddling with your Shiny SDR looooooool, but I was only testing. I will get back to it once I get the second SDR. I'm also fabricating some antennas & keeping my self busy. I would love to have @ShoGinn VRS Docker on unraid, it would be a nice addition to the long list of dockers available.
June 24, 20197 yr Hi: I'm strugglin with this docker with no succes. I have passsed the RTL adding the device route, and the log says it have started, but it gets stucked saying that dump1090 is not reporting anything. With the same antena using RPI and natively instaled packegs (no docker) i'm seeing plenty of planes. Then I look to your instructions and I see this: Quote EX For my RTL-SDR device adding the following line to the config file got it working: config.devices.add(u'osmo', OsmoSDRDevice('rtl=0')) Where I have to place that code? I have to create all the config.py file and so? Thanks.

June 24, 20197 yr There is a part of the log that I'm getting: [24/Jun/2019 21:10:08] code 404, message File not found 192.168.1.50 - - [24/Jun/2019 21:10:08] "GET /data/aircraft.json?_=1561403246044 HTTP/1.1" 404 - 2019-06-24 21:10:09,204 INFO success: piaware entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs) 2019-06-24 21:10:09,204 INFO success: piaware entered RUNNING state, process has stayed up for > than 1 seconds (startsecs) 192.168.1.50 - - [24/Jun/2019 21:10:10] code 404, message File not found 192.168.1.50 - - [24/Jun/2019 21:10:10] "GET /data/aircraft.json?_=1561403246045 HTTP/1.1" 404 - 2019-06-24 21:10:10,879 INFO exited: piaware (exit status 4; not expected) 2019-06-24 21:10:11,880 INFO spawned: 'piaware' with pid 549 192.168.1.50 - - [24/Jun/2019 21:10:12] code 404, message File not found 192.168.1.50 - - [24/Jun/2019 21:10:12] "GET /data/aircraft.json?_=1561403246046 HTTP/1.1" 404 - If I go to http://miserverIP:httpPort/gmap.html It gives me this: Error response Error code 404.

AJAX call failed (error: File not found). Maybe dump1090 is no longer running? The displayed map data will be out of date. No way to kill the container, it gets zombie, the only way to kill it is to restar the host... Edited June 24, 20197 yr by yayitazale
June 27, 20197 yr Author @yayitazale The first block you quoted about config is specific to setting up shinysdr. In that post you only need to follow through Step 5 in order to passthrough the device. Quote Is this working on unraid? Is there any template or installing instructions? I have not had the time to create templates for @ShoGinn's dockers yet. Can you post a more complete container log? It's hard to tell what is going on from the excerpt you gave. My guess is that you are missing some configuration or have not correctly passed through the device to the container.
July 5, 20197 yr Hi all new to this i have managed to configure flight aware side of this and am supplying them with data however im unable to get Flight radar 24 to work see my settings below not sure what i have done wrong and not sure how to get key ive tried --signup not does not seem to work either in putty or docker console
