Docker container for running dumpvdl2 and forwarding the received JSON messages to another system or docker container. Best used alongside ACARS Hub.
Builds and runs on amd64
, arm64
, arm/v7
.
Please see: Buster-Docker-Fixes!
A computer host on a suitable architecture and one USB RTL-SDR dongle connected to an antenna.
SERIAL
has been deprecated in favor of SOAPYSDR
. Please update your configuration accordingly. If SERIAL
is set the driver will be set to rtlsdr
and the serial number will be set to the value of SERIAL
.

Variable | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
TZ |
Your timezone | No | UTC |
SOAPYSDR |
The SoapySDR device string that identifies your dongle. See below for supported soapy sdr types. | No | Blank |
FEED_ID |
Used by the decoder to insert a unique ID in to the output message | Yes | Blank |
FREQUENCIES |
Semicolon-separated list of frequencies for the decoder to listen to. All frequencies should either be in Hz, or in MHz with exactly 3 digits after the decimal point. | Yes | Blank |
PPM |

VDLM_FILTER_ENABLE |
Filter out non-informational messages. Turning this off (set to a blank value) will cause increased message rate but the messages will be of little value. Will cause extra SD card read/writes. | No | TRUE |

QUIET_LOGS |
Mute log output to the bare minimum. Set to false to disable. |
No | TRUE |
ZMQ_MODE |
Output to zmq publisher socket. This sets the mode to client or server . |
No | |
ZMQ_ENDPOINT |
Output to zmq publisher socket. This sets the endpoint . Syntax is tcp:https://address:port |
No | |
STATSD_SERVER |

The SoapySDR device string is used to identify your RTL-SDR dongle. The default value is driver=rtlsdr
which is suitable for most users. If you are using a different SDR, you will need to provide the correct device string. For example, if you are using an Airspy Mini, you would set SOAPYSDR=driver=airspy
. Pass any additional options for the SDR in via this option as well.
Supported Soapy Drivers:
rtlsdr
rtltcp
airspy
sdrplay
