This post will describe running your own Flightradar-like flight tracking website. My setup is based on Docker and a Client/Server setup.
requirements
For my setup you require the following things:
- server
- Raspberry Pi (4)
- ADS-B antenna
- ADS-B USB Dongle
- client
- (virtual) server
server
This device will capture all data and has the physical antenna connected which is required to receive the ADS-B data.
In my case there is a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4Gb memory and USB-NVMe for storage connected. The Pi has Ubuntu installed:

After you have installed Ubuntu you need to connect via SSH and install docker with docker-compose:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install docker docker-compose
Instructions for starting server can be found in the Git Repo:
In this git Repo you can find instructions for running the server and the client, the client has following purposes:
- running website with tar1090 and map which shows the tracked aircrafts
- feeding data to flightaware
- feeding data to flightradar24
- feeding data to radarbox
- feeding data to adsbexchange
