sdr-enthusiasts/docker-adsbhub

Docker container to send ADS-B data to ADSBHub. Designed to work in tandem with sdr-enthusiasts/docker-readsb-protobuf. Builds and runs on x86, x86_64, arm64, arm32v7 and arm32v6.

This container pulls SBS/Basestation protocol data from a host or container, and sends the data to ADSBHub.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfiles

• latest (main branch, Dockerfile)
• Version and architecture specific tags available

First-time users

Obtaining ADSBHub Station Key

First-time users should obtain a ADSBHub Station dynamic IP key. Follow the directions for steps 1 and 2 at ADSBHub how to feed, ensuring your station is set up as a client and the data protocol set as "SBS".

Setting up your station

In your station preferences, you should set the following:

• Feeder type: Linux
• Data Protocol: SBS
• Station mode: Client

Up-and-Running with docker run

docker run \
 -d \
 --rm \
 --name adsbhub \
 -e TZ="YOURTIMEZONE" \
 -e SBSHOST=YOURSBSHOST \
 -e CLIENTKEY=YOURCLIENTKEY \
ghcr.io/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-adsbhub:latest

You should obviously replace YOURSBSHOST, and YOURCLIENTKEY with appropriate values.

For example:

docker run \
 -d \
 --rm \
 --name adsbhub \
 -e TZ="Australia/Perth" \
 -e SBSHOST=readsb \
 -e LAT=-33.33333 \
 -e LONG=111.11111 \
 -e CLIENTKEY=zg84632abhf231 \
ghcr.io/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-adsbhub:latest

Up-and-Running with Docker Compose

version: "2.0"

services:
  adsbhub:
    image: ghcr.io/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-adsbhub:latest
    container_name: adsbhub
    restart: always
    environment:
      - TZ=Australia/Perth
      - SBSHOST=readsb
      - CLIENTKEY=zg84632abhf231

Escaping special characters

The ADSBHub client key is full of special characters, that can be misinterpreted on multiple levels. To avoid that:

• Wrap the environment variable assignment (the whole assignment, not just the key) in single quotation marks so that YAML parses it correctly.
• Duplicate every $ character. The single $ sign is the start of a variable substitution in docker-compose. Use $$ instead.

If your client key was abc\$123$$$ABC, your docker-compose.yml should look like this:

environment:
  - "CLIENTKEY=abc$\$123$$$$$$ABC"
