adsb.lol docker feed client

The adsb.lol docker feed client is a toolkit that allows you to install, run and maintain a ADS-B / UAT / MLAT / ACARS / VDL2 feed client.

By default, it feeds MLAT+ADSB to adsb.lol. You can enable UAT/ACARS/VDL2, and feed to your plane data to FlightRadar24, Radarbox, Piaware, and more

It is designed to be run on a Raspberry Pi, but can be run on any Linux Debian-like system.

With a few commands, you can easily feed to other community aggregators.

For an up to date version of the documentation, see www.adsb.lol/docs/get-started/docker/

Bare metal install

If you are looking for a script to run on your existing station, you can see here.

Works on all images of other flight aggregator companies.

This install will only setup an ADSB+MLAT feed to adsb.lol, without impacting your existing feeds/services.

Run:

curl -fsL -o /tmp/adsblol.sh https://adsb.lol/feed.sh && sudo bash /tmp/adsblol.sh

Manual feeding with readsb and mlat-client

You probably do not want to do this unless you really know what you are doing.

Here goes...

1. First generate a UUID: cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid
2. Add this to your wiedehopf readsb: --net-connector feed.adsb.lol,30004,beast_reduce_plus_out,in.adsb.lol,1337,uuid=UUID be sure to replace UUID with your uuid.
3. Run a separate mlat-client instance: /usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/mlat-client --user yourname --lat 00.00000 --lon -00.00000 --alt 231m --input-type dump1090 --input-connect localhost:30005 --server feed.adsb.lol:31090 --results beast,listen,32005 --uuid=UUID --privacy
4. You can add the mlat results to your readsb by adding this --net-connector localhost,32005,beast_in

Thank you SDR-Enthusiasts!

This would not be possible without SDR-Enthusiasts who have made the original docker-compose file.

This repo is largely based off of their work plus some command line interface tools to make running the stack a bit simpler.

Their documentation can be very useful in enabling extra feeders..
