Turn a Raspberry Pi into a multi-feed ADS-B tracker in minutes.
One command. Six flight networks. A dashboard you'll actually want to look at.
EasyADSB sets up your Raspberry Pi + RTL-SDR dongle to feed aircraft data to six tracking networks simultaneously — with a custom dashboard for monitoring everything.
| Network | Type |
|---|---|
| ADSBexchange | Global unfiltered tracking |
| ADSB.lol | Privacy-focused community |
| FlightAware | Commercial flight tracker |
| FlightRadar24 | Worldwide tracker |
| RadarBox | Aviation data platform |
| tar1090 | Your own local map |
# Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && sudo reboot
# Clone and run
git clone https://github.com/datboip/easyadsb.git
cd easyadsb && chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.shThe setup wizard handles everything — location, service keys, Docker containers. Open http://<your-pi-ip>:8081 when it's done.
Interactive Leaflet map with altitude-colored aircraft, real-time heading, 6 map styles, distance rings, reception range overlay, trails, and heatmap.
SQLite database logging every aircraft position. Configurable sample rate (5-60s), auto-cleanup, CSV/JSON export, and a full REST API.
Replay historical flights with a full timeline scrubber. Live loop mode plays the last few hours like a weather radar — loops through history, dwells on live, and repeats.

74+ achievements across 8 categories. Leaderboard with time-range filters. Personal records, aircraft type gallery, and activity heatmap.
Live indicators for all six services. Collapsible cards, direct links to your stats, one-click backup from the dashboard.
