SDR Scanner

LXC 210 | 192.168.86.32 | Port 3000 | scanner.woodhead.tech

Decodes Snohomish County SNO911 P25 Phase II trunked radio using an RTL-SDR V4 USB dongle.

Components​

  • Trunk Recorder -- P25 decoder using osmosdr driver
  • rdio-scanner -- Web UI for browsing decoded radio traffic

Prerequisites​

  • RTL-SDR V4 plugged into thinkcentre2 USB port
  • LXC 210 created via Terraform (privileged, for USB passthrough)
  • Kernel module dvb_usb_rtl28xxu blacklisted on thinkcentre2

Deploy​

cd terraform && terraform apply -target=proxmox_virtual_environment_container.sdr
make sdr

Verify​

ssh root@192.168.86.32 "docker ps"
ssh root@192.168.86.32 "docker logs trunk-recorder --tail 10"
curl -I https://scanner.woodhead.tech

Notes​

  • LXC must be privileged for USB device passthrough
  • If the LXC is recreated, re-run make sdr (re-applies USB cgroup rules + kernel module blacklist)
  • Protected by Authentik SSO
