Raspberry Pi

A home Raspberry Pi operations repo for ADS-B flight tracking, ISS pass checks, weather helpers, setup notes, and lightweight remote runbooks.

Raspberry Pi is a small home infrastructure repository for keeping practical operational notes and helper scripts in one place. It documents the services running on the device, how they are maintained, and the lightweight checks that make the machine useful without turning it into a large homelab platform.

The main service is a Flightradar24 ADS-B feeder using an RTL-SDR receiver and antenna. The repo keeps the setup and maintenance notes close to the scripts so the system can be checked, restarted, or rebuilt without relying on memory. It also includes simple on-demand utilities for visible ISS pass checks and local weather checks.

The project is deliberately modest. It is less about building a polished product and more about treating a household device as infrastructure: documented access patterns, repeatable setup steps, service-specific notes, and small commands that answer useful questions quickly.

From an engineering perspective, the value is in the runbook discipline. A Raspberry Pi can easily become an undocumented box in a cupboard; this repository keeps the hardware, feeds, scripts, and operating assumptions legible enough to maintain over time.
