In this video, I go through the steps of setting up an ADS-B receiver that feeds data from the Raspberry Pi to Flightradar24.

By supplying FlightRadar24 data from your ADS-B receiver, you will be upgraded to a business account. This upgrade gives you a range of particularly appealing benefits if you use FlightRadar24.
The ideal range of this setup will be roughly 140-480 km (87-300 miles). However, this range is heavily dependent on the location of the antenna. For example, being outside with a clear view and on top of a mountain will give you the best coverage.
You will need to sign up to FlightRadar24 to complete this tutorial.
For this tutorial, I made use of the Raspberry Pi 5 running the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm). This tutorial should still work on older versions of the operating system and hardware.

In this video I show how you can setup a Raspberry Pi Plex server so you can have your entire media library in one location. Anyone with a valid connection to it will be able to stream from it.
Full Tutorial: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-plex-server/
There is currently no official ARM version of Plex so instead we will need to download an unofficial package. This is done by dev2day.
One of the best things about the Plex client is the amount of devices it’s supported on. There is almost no mainstream device that you won’t be able to install the client or at the very least access it via the web app.
There of course some bottlenecks for using the Pi as a streaming server. This includes the 2.0 USB ports if you’re looking to hook up a hard drive to the Pi. The pi will still make for a decent plex server probably handling 2-3 people.
If you have trouble getting the package to download, then change the URL in the package source list to just plain HTTP. (I explain this in the video) It should then download without any issue at all. However, the standard way should work just fine. (It didn’t for me unfortunately.)
There are quite a few ways you’re able to store your media on the plex server. The best way would be on an external hard drive. You can make this a network attached storage so you can access it anywhere within your local network.
You should find that all the official clients should find your server automatically without needing to add the IP in. If you want to use the web app then you simply need to enter the IP with the port 32400 and then /web/.
I hope this video helps you with getting the Raspberry Pi plex server setup correctly. If you come across a problem, noticed something I missed or just some feedback then please don’t hesitate to leave a comment below over at pimylifeup.com
