librtlsdr-docker

Docker image and bash scripts for working with the librtlsdr binaries.

Build

$ docker build -t librtlsdr .

Run

The docker --device argument is required to give your container access to the USB devices connected to your host machine, for example running rtl_eeprom works like this:

$ lsusb | grep "Realtek.*RTL"
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL2838 DVB-T
$ docker run \
    --device /dev/bus/usb/002/008:/dev/bus/usb/002/008 \
    --rm -it librtlsdr \
    rtl_eeprom -d 0

Bash script rtl_devices.sh enumerates all RTLSDR devices for convenience:

$ chmod +x bin/rtl_devices.sh
$ docker run \
    $(./bin/rtl_devices.sh) \
    --rm -it librtlsdr \
    rtl_eeprom -d 0
