RTL-TCP

RTL-TCP

Docker app from grtgbln's Repository

Overview

RTL-SDR TCP server for RTL-SDR dongles.

Docker Hub

Dockerfiles and scripts for my Images hosted at https://hub.docker.com/u/kosdk.

You can build most of the images using the build.ps1 powershell script in each folder to build the respective images. Check the sections below for any parameters that you can pass to the builder.

The PowerShell build scripts have a $tag variable that you can edit so you can customize the image tag name for your repository. There is also a environment variable called DOCKER_HUB_PROFILE which contains the profile repository that these images are hosted on. The DOCKER_HUB_PROFILE must be set before using the build.ps1 scripts.

These build scripts use the experimental buildx command in Docker Desktop 2.0.4.0 or higher to build for multiple Linux platforms. You need to enable experimental features. Read more about this command here.

All these packages support multiple linux architectures including the Raspberry Pi. You're welcome!

Building Images

You can build them using the build.ps1 in their folder or for packages marked as UBT, building of the images is done via the unified build tool. Located in the repository root, the UBT build.ps1 can build all compatible packages.

The environment variable DOCKER_HUB_PROFILE must be set before you can build as this specifies the docker hub profile to build the image for.

Parameter Type Description
-image string The image to build. Required.
-output string The docker build output type (load, push, folder).
-outputpath string The output path when the output type is folder.
-version string Specifies a tag for the image. Required when image does not provide a version.

Check the readme for each image to see if there are any additional parameters to pass to build tool for the image.

Build Example

.\build soxplayer -output load -version 123
