Hardware radio scanners can also work, provided the radio has a large IF bandwidth (30 kHz +) and a discriminator tap.

This tutorial will show you how to set up a NOAA weather satellite receiving station, which will allow you to gather several live weather satellite images each day.В Most parts of this tutorial are also applicable to other software radios, such as the Funcube dongle and HackRF and Airspy, but the RTL-SDRВ is the cheapest option.

The RTL-SDR dongle combined with a good antenna, SDRSharp and a decoding program can be used to download and display these live images several times a day.

Each NOAA weather satellite broadcasts an Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) signal, which contains a live weather image of your area.

Here is one okay-ish (the pass seemed to have been shorted because of an overlapping meteor one) pass from my install:ДЄlso in scripts/common.Everyday multiple NOAA weather satellites pass above you.

Gnuradio scripts are for python2 BUT seems easy to use python3, noaa one needs indentation fixed (mix tabs/spaces) + python3 on first line, and only first line for meteor I don't have an available raspberrypi to test it, it only has been tested on my server (running Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS)

One of the issues I see would be with the subst in two files (see common/tasks/user.yml) that will break git pull but I don't see how to properly handle that, except by excluding the scripts from git (the scripts/xxxx.ext), making them templates ( scripts/2), and having ansible generating the 'final' ones.ДЄlso in scripts/common.sh, rtl_fm isn't always in /usr/local/bin (like rtl_sdr) but might be in /usr/bin, maybe we can add detection in ansible and fill nf with it.Дocumentation has not been updated so depending on the config used ( setup_webserver etc.) the install will not be 100% operational.

added the user in Config/Config.php and used it in AdminController.php for sudo command.

added the user and group running under in nf to be used for install script and anything else that could use it.

predict is installed from repos when stretch, and from stretch deb file if != stretch (not packaged anymore after stretch).

replaced raspbian_version by fact ansible_distribution_release.

added a check for another path for rtl_sdr (was on /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin here).

used running_under_user instead of hardcoded pi in various ansible templates.

replacement of /home/pi in two files by ansible using the running_under_user var.

nginx & php install/setup has been split from the app config.

setup_webserver: default true, include nginx/php install and setup.

use_ramfs: default true, will include or not ramfs.yml.

use_ntpd: default true, will include or not ntp.yml.

running_under_group, same but for the group.

running_under_user, default pi, the user the app will run under.

install of the last two depending on if the CPU arch from the facts is armv7l or not (I only have one pi arch to test the value content).

added own build of medet for amd64 (you can replace it if you want).

TLDR: made able to run on another user than pi and hardware than a pi. I wanted to install this on a server I already had and not a dedicated pi so I tried to make the whole install part and run more user/hw/sw agnostic.
