You can get containerized feeders for services like fr24 (e.g. liggy1/fr24feed) but that may not meet your requirements since it's really intended to handle everything from the sdr to the API, not siphon off data you are collecting some other way and then feed it.
Yeah I definitely don't want to run an opaque container either. We're already collecting and storing the data... I am happy to throw the data over via a udp socket or http request, but I don't want random software that we don't control running...
I had the same concerns awhile back and ending up running a slightly modified version of https://github.com/wiedehopf/mlat-client -- not quite as simple as an http push, but much simpler than a containerized feed client.

https://airplanes.live/get-started/ (other sites are corporate or have sold out [adsbexchange], happy to contribute reasonable costs to get a feed, no affiliation, I just like sensor feeds, thank you for the offer and consideration)
What's the story behind adsbexchange selling out?
Re: ADS-B Exposed
#54We have a an ADS-B receiver at Summit Station in Greenland which we use to track airplanes that produce RFI we see in our experiment. I've considered sharing data (since nobody else seems to have data there) but the feeding instructions always scare me (run this script that downloads a bunch of random crap as sudo... no thanks). Please just give me a cURL command I can run... (perhaps some services have that, I haven…
sdr-enthusiasts [0] produces some very nice self-contained Docker images as an alternative to the `curl | sudo bash` style of install script that plagues a lot of the ADSB ecosystem.
most likely all you need is their "ultrafeeder" [1,2] image.

#55Very cool project. Little bit of trivia regarding the "strange hole near Mexico City"[1] from the README. This is a 12-kilometer exclusion zone around the highly active Popocatépetl volcano to prevent incidents stemming from volcanic activity.

that's interesting how it's not really centered like my mind assumed it would be

#56Over in r/ADSB, someone recently posted a 3D visualizer of live ADS-B data: https://objectiveunclear.com/airloom.html . A nice alternative to the standard 2D maps we're used to.
Reminds me of the galaxy view in No Man's Sky. Very cool. It's also the type of visualisation I'd imagine would be perfect seen through the lens of a Vision Pro or similar.
Re: ADS-B Exposed
#57Thanks for posting! I've recently added more datasets, "Places", "Birds", "Photos", and "You". Also, a hint - the rectangular selection tool lets you generate custom reports for a location.
what's going on around colorado springs with these shapes? https://adsb.exposed/?dataset=Planes&zoom=9&lat=38.2165&lng=...
The ”race tracks” are left- and right-hand traffic patterns for arriving aircraft and touch-and-go training, typically used by smaller aircraft. The polylines going from airport to the surroundings are IFR (instrument flight rules) STARs (standard terminal arrival routes) for inbound/outbound planes; each vertex in the line corresponds to a so-called navigation star which usually has a 5-letter name.

I appreciate the information! And yes, the fact that most sites are corporate makes me really distrustful of running random scripts from them. This is sort of an example of what I'm talking about though, this script seems to install a bunch of random stuff but what I really want is an API to incorporate into our own recording process. As far as I can tell from a brief look, this binary (?) is downloaded from somewher…
I have to dive in a bit more to give good and specific guidance/context, but fundamentally, your system will require a shim to "speak" $UAT_SOURCE and the output this would expect, assuming the source was an sdr. Want help writing the code for this? Specs to build requirements RNO-G in -> SDR out are welcome.

https://sdr-enthusiasts.gitbook.io/ads-b/ might also be of value.
