⁠Repository:

https://bitbucket.org/inodes/docker-rtlsdr-dump1090-piaware.git⁠ (Rename docker-compose.yml_suggestion to docker-compose.yml)

⁠Minimum Requirement:

• Raspberry Pi 2
• RTL-SDR Dongle⁠
• Create Flightaware account⁠

⁠Instructions:

1. Install Hypriot OS on RPI via this blog⁠
2. Blacklist the RLT-SDR driver by adding your device (examples provided) to a config file xyz.conf within /etc/modprobe.d/

blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
blacklist e4000
blacklist rtl2832

1. Make a directory to store your Docker files and clone my repo

$ mkdir Docker
$ cd Docker
$ git clone https://bitbucket.org/inodes/docker-rtlsdr-dump1090-piaware.git
$ cd docker-rtlsdr-dump1090-piaware

1. Move the example docker-compose.yml_suggestion file and make edits to make it your own changing

• Latitude and Longitude (e.g. Sydney, Australia -33.7968 150.7823)
• PPM (To determine this refer to Docker container sysrun/rpi-kalibrate)
• Username and Password (for Flightaware)

1. Run docker-compose up to prepare
2. Once completed run docker-compose start to start
3. Refer to Flightaware stats⁠ and http://you_rpi_ip:8080

This will provide access to a $89/month account with Flightaware for free.

⁠Why run dump1090 and piaware together?

At present cannot seem to get both applications working using links due to piaware always assuming localhost for port 30005.
