⁠SDRPP Server AMD64 Docker Image

This project implements a dockerized sdrpp server built for AMD64.

• SDRplay API 3.15 is included.
• RTL-SDR is included.
• SDRPP Releases Nightly Builds is the source for SDRPP.

⁠Notes:

• The final install image is built on debian
• There is a Dockerfile.alpaquita that used Alpaquita as a base image instead of debian. but the Alpaquita version is unmaintained.
• The sdrpp configs directory can be shared as a volume or a default set is supplied. Be aware that the default may not be what you desire. sdrpp-server will not run properly without a good set of configuration files.
• Build files are on github: https://github.com/dgadams/sdrpp-server⁠
• Build this with "docker build -t sdrpp-server ."

⁠Usage:

I generally run this with a docker compose file:

# sdrpp server
# server to allow sdrpp connections to sdrplay and rtl-sdr devices
#
# D. G. Adams 2025-03-12
# The SDRplay devices need USB read/write permissions.
# Add: SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1df7", MODE="0666"
# to a file in the docker host /etc/udev/rules.d to allow read/write access.

#     Be sure to edit the config file directory to point to your own.
#     If you don't have your own directory just comment out the volumes section.
#     If no volume is specified a default set of configs for sdrpp
#     will be used.  See sdrpp documentation for more details.
