Default Quick ADSB for Newbies

TL;DR (Too long, didn't read)

* Making it easy to setup Raspberry Pi from the amateur, to the expert
* A couple of basics required
* Each new site takes a few minutes
* Apart from having to generate an ssh key, no technical skill required
* Using a new method to make all the hard work done for you

This post is very, very long - mainly because I want it to be very, very comprehensive.
Once you have all your details to configure your devices, and have basic tools - setting up each new device takes a very short amount of time.

Hi All,

It's been a long time since I posted. I've also been a long time sender to the three main crowdsourced public ADSB sharing services:

http://flightaware.com
http://planefinder.com
http://flightradar24.com

Most of us have used these services on either our desktops or mobile phones to track flights. But there are advantages to submitting to one (or all) of these services. Generally it allows you to use the services on their highest paid plans completely free of charge. At a minimum it clears annoying advertisements from services.

My background is a Unix Systems Administrator, and currently look after thousands of systems as a Site Reliability Engineer.

So setting up a device to submit ADSB should have been a walk in the park. It has improved significantly, but I still think it's out of reach for some.

This post is for a couple of reasons:

1. I have found a very easy method for setting up devices with minimal technical skills required.
2. This method allows setting up of many devices quickly.
3. It also allows quick upgrades and remote management.
4. You don't need to follow website instructions.
5. You get all three services in one go.

More to follow....
