Feeders
Feed TheAirTraffic
Share your ADS-B receiver with the network. Pick the setup that suits you. Most people are done in a few minutes.
Before you start
Feeding with the script
- 1
Run this on your receiver and follow the prompts.
shellcurl -L -o /tmp/tatfeed.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheAirTraffic/tat-feeder/master/install.sh sudo bash /tmp/tatfeed.sh - 2
When asked, enter your antenna's location and altitude. Our elevation finder gives you both, ready to paste.
Feeding with Docker Compose
Uses Ultrafeeder from SDR Enthusiasts.
- 1
Already running Ultrafeeder? Add these two entries to your
ULTRAFEEDER_CONFIG, then skip to step 4:ULTRAFEEDER_CONFIGadsb,feed.theairtraffic.com,30004,beast_reduce_plus_out; mlat,feed.theairtraffic.com,31090 - 2
Otherwise, add this service to your
docker-compose.yml. It reads from your existing receiver (readsbon port 30005), so change that host if yours is named differently.docker-compose.ymlultrafeeder: image: ghcr.io/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-adsb-ultrafeeder container_name: ultrafeeder hostname: ultrafeeder restart: unless-stopped environment: - TZ=${FEEDER_TZ} - READSB_LAT=${FEEDER_LAT} - READSB_LON=${FEEDER_LONG} - READSB_ALT=${FEEDER_ALT_M}m - MLAT_USER=${FEEDER_NAME} - ULTRAFEEDER_CONFIG= adsb,readsb,30005,beast_in; adsb,feed.theairtraffic.com,30004,beast_reduce_plus_out; mlat,feed.theairtraffic.com,31090 tmpfs: - /run/readsb - /var/log - 3

Start (or restart) the container:

Feeding several aggregators
Send your data to TheAirTraffic and other aggregators at the same time.
adsb.im feeder image
A ready-made image with a web interface. Runs on a Raspberry Pi, many other single-board computers, x86 machines and VMs, or installs as an app on Debian/Ubuntu.
