ADS-B feeder network

⚠ Work in progress — not yet ready for public use

About

A self-hosted ADS-B data platform. Raspberry Pi feeders decode 1090 MHz transponder signals via SDR and stream aircraft positions to a central server for deduplication, multilateration, and storage. No dependence on FlightAware, ADSBExchange, or any third-party data network.

Runs alongside existing feeders — compatible with readsb and dump1090-fa. Supported hardware: Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi 5.

Install a Feeder

Set up a feeder node on a Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5 with one command:

$ curl -sSL https://phatfly.net/adsb-feeder/install.sh | sudo bash
