Build Satnogs on Raspberry Pi and decode Meteor M2-3 and M2-4 images

Build latest raspian image on sd card and boot your pi. 

From your windows pc / putty etc or direct from raspberry pi follow these step by step guides: 

Big Thanks to Daniel Ekman SA2KNG and his very hard work and efforts / this guide: https://github.com/kng/satnogs-client-docker/blob/main/lsf/LSF-GUIDE.md     

We will assume you set up an account with satnogs and have access to the dashboard
See screenshot below, note your station number *ID* on the left in Green and notice middle far right "API KEY*, click on this to get your API (Needed in set up later on) make a note of these.  




 













sudo apt update 

sudo apt upgrade 

You may need to type y and press enter.... 
Chromium master preferences (press enter *N*)

*Go make coffee this may take a little while*

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kng/satnogs-client-docker/refs/heads/main/lsf/10-satnogs.rules

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kng/satnogs-client-docker/refs/heads/main/lsf/satnogs-blacklist.conf

sudo cp 10-satnogs.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

sudo cp satnogs-blacklist.conf /etc/modprobe.d/

sudo apt install docker.io apparmor docker-compose
press enter (Y) to continue

sudo adduser $(whoami) docker

mkdir -p station-4113

cd station-4113

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xyleneuk/satnogs/refs/heads/main/docker-compose.yml

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xyleneuk/satnogs/refs/heads/main/meteor.sh

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xyleneuk/satnogs/refs/heads/main/station.env

chmod +x /home/james/satnogs/meteor.sh


In the above (station.env file) edit line 1 to include your api token from the satnogs login / dashboard.
Also check the long / lat is correct for your location, very important station ID

At This stage reboot the pi, this will allow your local user to access docker and apply the black listing of the devices above. 


docker-compose up -d

docker-compose down

docker-compose pull     
(updates the image) I needed this to see the RTL inside the docker container



Now the fun part, has your skill and patience paid off will it run?


docker-compose up -d



docker-compose logs -f  (press ctrl / c to exit view back to terminal)
Lets see if we got our api key right and configuration is valid?





Check satnogs dashboard and if you have a green status go ahead and schedule some observations

if you do need to go back and edit station.env or docker-compose.yml you will need to restart the docker container type the following after the edit and save:

docker-compose down

docker-compose up -d --force-recreate

when editing the meteor.sh file (if needed) your local copy is linked to the container copy and will automatically be updated and used.

Further troubleshooting, check to see the rtlsdr can be seen by soapy in the docker container (satnogs)

docker-compose exec satnogs_client SoapySDRUtil --probe="driver=rtlsdr"
