Very pretty! As it happens, I too have started ingesting ADS-B Data into ClickHouse recently, but have nothing nearly as beautiful as this.

I'm hitting the airplanes.live API every 10 seconds using ClickHouse's URL table function and storing in a MergeTree: https://github.com/JosephRedfern/airhoover/blob/main/airhoov.... Would love to use refreshable materialised views for this, but at the moment there's no append functionality (refresh only), so have to use Python to to trigger the query.

There's an open instance here: https://airhoover.joesstuff.co.uk/play?user=default#U0VMRUNU.... Only 1.5 days or so of data, I truncated before setting up tiered storage (local disk + backblaze b2).

Cool being able to e.g. get a break-down of aircraft type by operator (https://airhoover.joesstuff.co.uk/play?user=default#U0VMRUNU...) or who (supposedly) flies their planes fastest (https://airhoover.joesstuff.co.uk/play?user=default#U0VMRUNU...)

Wow. I have no idea what I'm looking at but it's pretty. And I do recognise the extended centrelines of local runways, as well as the typical instrument approach tracks into them!

Edit: Having read the readme, I have a better idea of what I'm looking at. Really impressive technically as well.

I find it super frustrating to see well funded tech companies boldly abuse open data resources and assume they can just get away with it. I guess that's the theme of 2024. But to make it clear: you are in violation of the license the data is provided under, and as one of the copyright holders I object to that.

Hi, thanks for sharing! Unfortunately besides empty map I don't see any visualization. Browser dev console is showing some CORS errors. EDIT: Nevermind, clickhouse.com was on disconnect's ad blocking list which I used for DNS blocking.

We bought clickhouse.com from the previous owner 2.5 years ago, who used it for some ad network - it was in some block lists, but I hope we managed to clean up most of them.

Still blocked in Disconnect list due to “Malvertising”

Could you please clarify the details?

I took extra care to provide all the needed attributions and credits and I believe it is complete and sufficient. If I missed something, please describe it at https://github.com/ClickHouse/adsb.exposed/issues, and I will correct it.

I'm not sure that list should be used any more. I tracked down a pihole issue a while ago to find this "The list you referenced was used in our legacy products. It is not maintained, has not been updated, and is not actively distributed us."

Interesting, thanks for the heads up, just had it removed.
