"# limesdr"

See: https://github.com/jumson/limesdr/wiki

These Dockerfiles / containers are designed to provide pre-built packages to run LimeSDR and LimeSDR mini for particular applications. Generally, these are meant to be run on Raspberry Pi 3 and/or Raspberry Pi Zero W

The goal is to provide images for: LTE eNodeB GSM BTS Basic GNURadio & LimeSuite application Basic GQRX with LimeSDR

Instructions for building and running -- modify these fit your specific setup and desired folder/Dockerfile above

For instance, I tag them with my hub.docker info, so that probably wont work for you.

Full Lime Suite, GQRX, GNURadio, Pothosware etc:

  • to build

docker build --rm -f full-lime/Dockerfile -t jumson/limesdr:lime-full full-lime

  • to run with GUI capabilities (linux)

docker run -ti --rm --privileged -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix jumson/limesdr:lime-full

  • to run with GUI capabilities in Windows -- have VcXser X Server running

    • Find your 172.x.y.z ip address handy, Docker gives this to you, run ipconfig docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY=172.27.71.97:0.0 -v d:/sdr:/tmp/share jumson/limesdr:late-grc
    • Note: the -v option maps a local to a remote(in container) folder. you can use as many as you like.
    • Other note -- this is only moderately useful because docker on windows cannot pass control of the USB device -- so no actual operation of hte SDR can be done through a docker on Windows.
  • to run with SSH capability....tbd, need to use the -p 22:22 argument though

For access to the SDR(privileged) and GUI -- most of these images should be run like:

docker run -ti --rm --privileged -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix [IMAGE-NAME] [OPTIONAL COMMAND(like bash)]

based on: http://fabiorehm.com/blog/2014/09/11/running-gui-apps-with-docker/

** Pro-tip so --privileged may not be necessary gleaned from: https://hub.docker.com/r/cswiger/limeosmogsm01/ **

LimeUtil --find lsusb <-- look for matching device on usb bus xxx yyy

then launch image with:

docker run -ti --rm --device=/dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix [IMAGE-NAME] [COMMAND]

** SOme cheatsheet for using screen: http://aperiodic.net/screen/quick_reference.**

Window Management command
create new window C-a c
change to last-visited active window C-a C-a (commonly used to flip-flop between two windows)
change to window by number C-a (only for windows 0 to 9)
change to window by number or name C-a '
change to next window in list C-a n or C-a
change to previous window in list C-a p or C-a
see window list C-a " (allows you to select a window to change to)
show window bar C-a w (if you don't have window bar)
close current window Closes all applications in the current window (including shell)
kill current window C-a k (not recommended)
kill all windows C-a \ (not recommended)
rename current window C-a A
Split screen command
split display horizontally C-a S
split display vertically C-a | or C-a V (for the vanilla vertical screen patch)
jump to next display region C-a tab
remove current region C-a X
remove all regions but the current one C-a Q
