prepare SDRs

• identify or set both SDR serials (e.g. 868 and 1090), they are required for the config.vars below
• unplug all SDRs, leaving only the SDR to be used for 1090 MHz reception plugged in, then issue the following command:
  • docker run --rm -it --device /dev/bus/usb --entrypoint rtl_eeprom ghcr.io/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-adsb-ultrafeeder -s 1090
• unplug all SDRs, leaving only the SDR to be used for 868 MHz reception plugged in, then issue the following command:
  • docker run --rm -it --device /dev/bus/usb --entrypoint rtl_eeprom ghcr.io/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-adsb-ultrafeeder -s 868

option to merge inconsistent address type transmissions

• cd ./docker-ogn2readsb
• nano tar1090/Dockerfile
• add && echo 'MergeNonIcao = true;' >> config.js after echo 'jaeroLabel = "OGN";' >> config.js

build (without multiple feeders)

• cd ./docker-ogn2readsb
• docker compose up --detach --build
• you may be asked Y/n a couple of times, it is safe to answer all of them with Y
• sudo reboot

ADVANCED build (with multiple feeders included)

• cd ./docker-ogn2readsb
• nano compose-multifeed.yaml
  • add your feeder credentials (e.g. SHARING KEY, USERNAME, LAT, LON, ALT)
  • delete (or comment out) unused/unwanted feeder entries
• docker compose --file compose-multifeed.yaml up --detach --build
• you may be asked Y/n a couple of times, it is safe to answer all of them with Y
• sudo reboot

apply configuration changes

• cd ./docker-ogn2readsb
• nano config.vars
• docker compose up --detach --build or docker compose --file compose-multifeed.yaml up --detach --build
• docker compose up --detach --build --force-recreate or docker compose --file compose-multifeed.yaml up --detach --build --force-recreate

monitor all ADSB and OGN traffic consolidated in a single tar1090 instance

• http://yourReceiverIP.local/tar1090

enable DE and AT traffic patterns

• quick hack for now: enable "UK Radar Corridors":

monitor OGN details

• http://yourReceiverIP:8080
• http://yourReceiverIP:8081

monitor docker containers

• docker logs -f rtlsdr-ogn
• docker logs -f mlat-client-adsbx
• docker logs -f readsb
• docker logs -f ogn2dump1090
• docker logs -f tar1090
