Main Installation
This is the install process for setting up a Flight Radar 24 ADS-B feed using a raspberry PI (V4) and a SDR-Blog VR Dongle. It also includes the install and mechanism to switch to an SDR++ server to allow remote clients to attach and listen to ATC audio remotely.
Initial PI setup
Using the PI imager software, you should image the PI and when prompted to select the image you need to select: Raspberry PI OS (Other) –> Raspberry PI-OS (Legacy 32-bit) Lite
It is important you choose the 32 bit version, and choosing the Lite version means we get a Headless install without all the bloat.
You should also select any other customizations, you should select and enable SSH at least / WI-Fi and other settings.
After flashing the PI allow it to boot and connect to the network, you can then ssh to it (ssh account@hostname) Login and update the PI to the latest OS.
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo reboot
sudo systemctl restart fr24feed
