Ran through the docs this morning, and came across this issue:

Got a bit confused by it, but went digging... found READSB_RTLSDR_DEVICE=1090 set in the docker-compose file... changed that to 00000001, restarted the container, and it worked...

If i had followed the following steps (https://sdr-enthusiasts.gitbook.io/ads-b/setting-up-rtl-sdrs/re-serialise-sdrs) it would have changed the serial number, but having something someone can find, if they did something as stupid as me, and missed that step, might be helpful... Google did not find anything useful...

Good pick up!

I don't want to change the default behaviour of the container, so we should probably make the documentation more explicit.

Do you have any input on wording / location ?
