Docker

Initial support for running radiosonde_auto_rx inside a Docker container is now available in the testing branch.

This is not available through Docker Hub at this time, and must instead be built locally.

Build the container image

git clone -b testing https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx.git
cd radiosonde_auto_rx
docker build -t radiosonde_auto_rx .

Update the container image

cd ~/radiosonde_auto_rx/
git checkout testing
git pull
docker build --rm --no-cache -t radiosonde_auto_rx .

Substitute ~/radiosonde_auto_rx/ with the local path to the radiosonde_auto_rx Git repository.

After updating the container image, to use the new image, the existing container needs to be stopped and removed, and a new container run.

Run the container

docker run -d --name radiosonde_auto_rx --restart="unless-stopped" --device=/dev/bus/usb -v ~/radiosonde_auto_rx/station.cfg:/opt/auto_rx/station.cfg:ro -v ~/radiosonde_auto_rx/log:/opt/auto_rx/log -p 5000:5000 radiosonde_auto_rx

Substitute ~/radiosonde_auto_rx/station.cfg and ~/radiosonde_auto_rx/log with the relevant local paths.

--restart="unless-stopped" will result in the container automatically restarting after a failure or host system reboot.

Once running, you can access the Web UI through http://<docker-host>:5000.

Restart the container

Restarting the container is useful for picking up changes to station.cfg.

docker restart radiosonde_auto_rx

Stop the container

docker stop radiosonde_auto_rx

Remove the container

docker rm radiosonde_auto_rx
