I had a spare Raspberry Pi5 8Gb model which I had been using as a Home Assistant / PiHole / NAS drive and a Internal Web Server. These were all running in containers but the application I wanted to add didn’t have up to date distribution for docker. So I took the decision to baseline it all and start from scratch. The OpenWebRX+ distribution for Raspberry Pi5 was loaded then copied to a SSD HAT where it boots from there. To make it remotely accessible from the Internet, I use a DDNS service and spent a while hardening the edge router script at G7UAY towers.

There are 2 SDR Receivers, a HackRF from last year and an old NOOLEC RTL-SDR from 2017. The original setup used a RTL-SDR Blog v4 which has been removed as it is very deaf. Even with an inline pre-amp. Swapped it out for the NOOLEC, wow, what a difference. Unfortunately the Blog v4 SDR can’t be returned (Yes I do have the new drivers since I have swapped it for another and that works but can’t keep it)
