Scripts to feed ADS-B flight tracking data from existing receivers to the adsb.fi network.
adsb-fi-scripts is a collection of bash scripts that help users feed ADS-B aircraft tracking data from their existing receivers to the adsb.fi network. It solves the problem of contributing to open flight tracking data without needing to replace or reconfigure existing decoder software like readsb or dump1090. The scripts handle installation, configuration, and service management for seamless data sharing.
Aviation enthusiasts, hobbyists, and data contributors who already have ADS-B receivers running on Raspberry Pi or Linux systems and want to share their data with the adsb.fi network.
Developers choose this project because it offers a non-intrusive way to add adsb.fi feeding capability to existing setups, requires minimal configuration, and provides comprehensive management scripts for updates, troubleshooting, and service control.

Works alongside existing feed clients like readsb or dump1090 without interference, enabling seamless data contribution to adsb.fi.
Uses a one-line curl command for initial setup and updates, simplifying deployment and maintenance.
Configurable to receive data from external feeder devices, accommodating diverse hardware setups without modifying the primary decoder.
Includes systemd commands for restarting, checking status, and disabling feeds, making operational control straightforward.
Requires separate installation of a decoder like readsb, adding complexity and potential compatibility hurdles for new setups.
Relies on minimal README instructions and community Discord for troubleshooting, lacking detailed guides for edge cases.
Involves editing config files with nano and using command-line tools, which can be daunting for users unfamiliar with Linux administration.
