Docker

StreamSDR provides a Docker image that can be used to run the app within a container. Although Docker supports multiple operating systems, StreamSDR only supports being run in a container on Linux systems due to the need to access hardware (i.e. SDR devices) connected to the system.

To run StreamSDR in Docker:

Follow the official guide to install Docker if it is not already installed.
Download the latest container image by running the following command in your terminal:
```
docker pull orryverducci/streamsdr
```
Create and run a container in one of the following ways:
- Docker command line interface:
  
  Run the following command in your terminal:
```
docker run -d --name streamsdr --publish 1234:1234 --privileged orryverducci/streamsdr
```
  This command runs the container with privileged capabilities, which allows full access to the hardware connected to the host system. If you don't wish to enable this you can remove --privileged from the command, but you will instead need to use the --device option to specifically allow access to each SDR device you wish to use.
- Docker Compose:
  
  Create a docker-compose.yml file containing the following:
```
version: "3.9"
services:
    streamsdr:
        image: orryverducci/streamsdr
        ports:
            - "1234:1234"
        privileged: true
```
  You can then start the service from the compose file by running the following command in the terminal:
```
docker-compose up
```
