Better support for Mode-S Beast serial output
First of all, thank you for creating this amazing image - it makes sharing data incredibly easy!
I have a Mode-S Beast connected to a Raspberry Pi 4 via USB, and my current setup for using it with adsb.im involves the following steps:
- Adding the following config to
/opt/adsb/config/docker-compose.yml
. This gives the ultrafeeder container access to the Mode-S Beast serial output:services: ultrafeeder: devices: - /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0
- Adding the following environment variable on the "Expert" settings page. Ultrafeeder will then connect to the serial port
/dev/ttyUSB0
:READSB_DEVICE_TYPE=modesbeast
.. which took some time to figure out. What are your thoughts on adding this to the default docker-compose.yml
? It would be even better if "Mode-S Beast over USB" were an option during initial setup :)
Best regards, Even
