sdrtrunk-docker

Run SDRTrunk in Docker, using linuxserver/webtop for a web-based VNC server with audio support. Contains SDR support for RTL-SDR, AirSpy, HackRF, and SDRPlay.

Getting Started

To get started with running SDRTrunk in Docker, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

1. Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your host machine.
2. Run the following script to set up necessary udev rules:

   bash ./install-on-host-machine/install-udev.sh

Running the Service

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/CrimeIsDown/sdrtrunk-docker.git
   cd sdrtrunk-docker

2. Start the Docker Compose service:

   docker compose up -d

3. Access SDRTrunk by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.

The Compose configuration persists Webtop's complete /config directory in ./appdata by default. This retains application preferences that are stored outside SDRTrunk's own configuration directory. Set WEBTOP_CONFIG_DIR to use a different host location.

Raspberry Pi 5

The image supports 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS. Docker Compose v2 passes the target platform to the build automatically. If an older Compose installation cannot detect it, build explicitly for arm64:

docker compose build --build-arg TARGETPLATFORM=linux/arm64
docker compose up -d

SDRplay's API requires a 4 KiB-page kernel. Raspberry Pi OS installations using the newer 16 KiB-page kernel are not compatible with the vendor API; use the standard 4 KiB kernel when an SDRplay device is required.

Stopping the Service

To stop the service, run:

docker compose down
