fr24feed in Docker

Travis (.com) branch

I'm tired of keeping track of all the hacks I needed to introduce to my Arch Linux installation on my Raspberry Pi to get fr24feed running, so here's a Docker configuration.

Usage

  • Type in your sharing key in fr24feed/fr24feed.ini.

    fr24key="0123456789abcdef"
    
  • Optionally, edit dump1090/config.js to set the correct coordinates of the receiver.

    DefaultCenterLat = 66.5;
    DefaultCenterLon = 25.19;
    
    SiteShow    = true;
    SiteLat     = 66.5;
    SiteLon     = 25.19;
    SiteName    = "My receiver";
    
  • Optionally, edit dump1090/supervisord.conf to set the correct coordinates of the receiver in dump1090-fa's arguments (--lat and --lon).

    command=/usr/bin/dump1090-fa ... --lat 66.5 --lon 25.19 ...
    

Start the containers using

make pull && make up

You can now access the interactive map at http://0.0.0.0:8080/dump1090-fa/ and the fr24feed web interface at http://0.0.0.0:8754/.

Stop the containers using

make down

Development

TL;DR: build the native images using

make compose/build

Or, if you have Compose version 1.24.x or below,

make docker/build

Dependencies

  • Docker with BuildKit support (18.09 or higher),
  • Compose with BuildKit support for compose-build (1.25.0 or higher).

CI

I used a guide to set up multiarch builds (1). I don't understand it completely at the moment, but whatever.

The goal is to have a single multiarch repo on Docker Hub for each of the services. The approach is to use Docker's new BuildKit builder + the buildx command line plugin.

Other possibilities are:

  • use QEMU + multiarch base images directly (2, 3), and create a manifest file manually,
  • build natively on multiple architectures (not sure how to combine them in a single manifest then though).

The disadvantages of the approach taken are:

  • newer Docker version is required,
  • docker-compose doesn't seem to support that method natively.

TODO

  • Docker Hub automated builds instead of Travis?
  • docker-compose instead of docker buildx?
