docker-planefence
A Docker-based tool that logs, displays, and tweets about aircraft detected within a configurable range of your ADS-B receiver.
Overview
Planefence is a Docker container application that works alongside ADS-B feeder software like ultrafeeder, readsb, or dump1090. It logs aircraft that come within a user-defined distance and altitude 'fence' of your receiver, displaying the data on a web interface and providing daily CSV files. It can also send notifications to Mastodon, Discord, or Twitter and integrate with noise capture hardware.
Key Features
- Aircraft Logging — Records aircraft within a configurable geographic and altitude fence around your receiver.
- Web Interface — Displays logged aircraft with a heatmap and optional OpenAIP overlay.
- Notifications — Sends alerts to Mastodon, Discord, or Twitter for aircraft in the fence.
- Plane-Alert Tracking — Tracks specific 'interesting' aircraft with a separate web view and notification system.
- Data Export — Provides daily CSV logs and a REST API for JSON/CSV data access.
- Noise Capture Integration — Optional integration with NoiseCapt to record aircraft noise levels.
Philosophy
Planefence is designed to be a modular, containerized add-on for existing ADS-B setups, emphasizing ease of deployment through Docker and extensive configurability for hobbyists and enthusiasts.
