Specifications

  • Image hash or version: latest
  • Platform: macOS Sequoia
  • Subsystem: Docker

Expected Behavior

WIth the RTL-SDR v5 plugged in there is no device listed in /dev that I can use to tell dump1090 where the SDR is. It is there and can be found by SDR++ and also when I do a 'system_profiler SPUSBDataType' :

` USB 3.0 Bus:

  Host Controller Driver: AppleEmbeddedUSBXHCIFL1100
  PCI Device ID: 0x1100 
  PCI Revision ID: 0x0010 
  PCI Vendor ID: 0x1b73 

    NESDR SMArt v5:

      Product ID: 0x2838
      Vendor ID: 0x0bda  (Realtek Semiconductor Corp.)
      Version: 1.00
      Serial Number: 00000001
      Speed: Up to 480 Mb/s
      Manufacturer: Nooelec
      Location ID: 0x02200000 / 3
      Current Available (mA): 500
      Current Required (mA): 500
      Extra Operating Current (mA): 0`

Actual Behavior

Unable to locate a device so container won't start

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Create a docker container
  2. Fill in my ID for FlightRadar
  3. Unable to enter a device ID for dump1080 as no device for the SDR listed in /dev

I realise I should have posted this on the dump1090, I will go do that now, but if anyone has any ideas how to fix this that would be great.

Bumping this. I'd love to see a solution and if I figure something out I'll report back.
