A Docker container for building and executing rtl_sdr tools: http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr
The image is sized-optimized by using a multi-stage build and implements a minimalistic subset of the RTL-SDR toolbox (basically, only rtl_sdr )
Obtain the image from the docker hub:
docker pull nicoinn/rtl-sdr
Run an rtl-sdr tool from the container (this will work only on a Linux host):
docker run --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb nicoinn/rtl-sdr
