✨ [REQUEST] Addon ADSB feeding (& MRTG).

[ExquisiteMetropolis]

Checked

• If a new addon, I have checked on Google that such as addon doesn't already exists
• If a new feature, I have searched in the discussions & issues that it was not already covered

Which addon?

Recently I tested to see if this add-on (not yours) would suit my needs: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/home-assistant-add-on-ads-b-multi-portal-feeder-flightradar24-and-flightaware/345563
It almost did. ;)

Basically this setup feeds data I pickup from aircraft in the area and feeds it to several tracking websites. Very cool stuff if you're an aviation-geek. There are many people around the world who do this, and form the basis (community) for websites like Flightradar24.

I've seen that the plugin I linked above, also uses other github repo's to realize the add-in.
Your repositority in HA is very impressive, and I am a happy user of a few of them. So thanks!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

After a power failure, I miss BIAS-T in the setup, so my LNA filter no longer works, because power is not provided.
This needs to be software activated via a parameter in the container/add-in. No supported (yet).
Too bad. So I switched back to these seperate docker containers below, which conflicts with my goal to switch to HA OS on my Pi instead of a supervised setup.

Describe the solution you'd like

How complicated would it be, to transform these containers into add-on(s) for HA? Potentially you could expand your repo with ADSB feeding. :)
I have a technical background myself, so I would welcome the learning curve on how to do this (if you point me in the right direction?), or I can help you test the work to be done.

ghcr.io/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-flightradar24:latest

And #dare-to-ask ;-)
The same need goes for thise one: https://github.com/fboaventura/dckr-mrtg
I know HA supports SNMP, however a clear setup manual for that is yet to be conceived and I would lose all my history.

Hi, sorry I don't have time anymore alas to add new addons. But I had written a short guide how to build addons. When I started I had no docker or HA knowledge and build all by trial ;-) https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Building-an-addon

Another way would be to use portainer to launch the docker by yourself - there is lots of documentation out there on using portainer to start a container

I would also recommend to check around if there is no other repo fitting your needs as indeed I think I already read in the past about flightradar addons !

Good luck, and have fun with HA!

Fair enough. Thanks for the prompt reply.
I will check out your link. At a glance, comprehensible and logical.
I could only find the 1 add-on that I linked, which misses BIAS-T.
Reception without that dropped from 200nm+ to just 40nm.
