What is docker-fr24feed-piaware-dump1090?

This project packages dump1090-fa (a Mode S decoder for RTL-SDR), the FlightRadar24 feeder (fr24feed), FlightAware's piaware, and clients for ADS-B Exchange, Plane Finder, OpenSky Network, adsb.fi, Radarbox (Airnavradar), and ADSBHub into one multi-arch Docker image. You run it on your own hardware (amd64, arm64, arm/v7) with an RTL-SDR DVB-T dongle (RTL2832). The container exposes a web map on port 8080 and the FR24 feeder status page on 8754. Each feeder is enabled via environment variables; first-time setup for piaware, Plane Finder, OpenSky, and Radarbox uses temporary containers to obtain sharing keys. MLAT is supported when exact coordinates are provided. The image is published on Docker Hub as thomx/fr24feed-piaware and built from the GitHub repository under the MIT licence.

Should you self-host docker-fr24feed-piaware-dump1090?
