sdrppserver_container

Docker container for sdr++ server, a linux I/Q stream server for SDRPlay RSP1, RSP1A, RSP2, RSPDuo, RSPdx

It works with compatible devices including:

• RSP1, RSP1A, RSP2, RSPDuo, RSPdx SDRPlay devices

Notes

This server is intended to be used with SDR++ the bloat-free SDR software by Alexandre Rouma. Help him on Patreon.

At this time (june 2022), this container installs the full SDR++ binary, needing all dependencies as the server mode is part of the desktop client. The debian package comes from the latest development build of SDR++.

Defaults

• Port 5259/tcp is used for the I/Q data stream and is exposed by default

User Configured Environment Variables

• none

2. Run ./runcontainer.sh
3. Verify no error messages print and type sudo docker ps to verify the container is up and running
4. On SDR++ set the source to SDR++ Server
5. Se the IP to the IP of the machine running SDR++ server. Ex: 192.168.1.2 and set the port to 5259
6. Click connect.
7. After you have connected under the section labled Source make sure you select your SDR device. Then click play and you should start receiving signals.
