A few pointers to get a receiver going if you're interested and don't want to use the Flightaware image: https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/adsb-receiver-sh... https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/Raspbian-Lite:-A...

In Monitor Airplane Traffic with a Raspberry Pi

adsbx-james·Feb 19, 2020

Just look at the code there. The author goes MIA and bugs are not fixed. There's really no reason to use it at this point - as there are better alternative and modern setups. https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts https://github.com/mikenye/docker-adsbexchange https://github.com/mikenye

In ADS-B Exchange – Co-op of unfiltered flight data

jjwiseman·Feb 19, 2020

And if anyone wants to help contribute data, there are a few ways to get started. 1. The minimal: Raspberry Pi and an RTL-SDR dongle. You can even use the small stock antenna that often comes with a dongle, if you put it near a window. 2. A real 1090 MHz antenna, plus filter + amp will greatly increase your performance, and cost less than $100. Weidehopf has a shopping list: https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/adsb-receiver-sh... As does flightaware: https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/build Software-wise, you have a couple nearly-turnkey solutions. The easiest thing is just to follow the guide at https://www.adsbexchange.com/how-to-feed/ You can even use their custom Raspberry Pi image, and instantly have dashboards and maps and all the cool stuff.
