Docker container for FlightAware's PiAware that forwards ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) data captured by a local receiver to FlightAware's flight tracking service. It pairs with the ADSB Main collector application so homelab users can share their own ADS-B feed with FlightAware.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • ADS-B receiver and antenna required PiAware needs an ADS-B receiver such as a USB Pro Stick (or compatible SDR) plus an antenna to capture 1090 MHz aircraft signals, and it runs on a low-power host such as a Raspberry Pi or a small Linux server. source
