Raspberry Pi 4/Raspberry Pi 3

It is recommended to use a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB or 8GB of ram.

This guide assumes that you have a clean installation of Raspberry Pi OS or Raspbian. You may also use the 64 bit Ubuntu 22.04 server prepared for the Raspberry Pi 4.

Install Docker

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install curl 
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh

Run the Container

docker volume create fts_data

docker run -d -p 8080:8080/tcp -p 8087:8087/tcp -e FTS_CONNECTION_MESSAGE="Server Connection Message" -e FTS_SAVE_COT_TO_DB="True" -v fts_data:/host/system/folder --name fts --restart unless-stopped freetakteam/freetakserver:1.1.2

Alternatively, you can use the example docker-compose.yml available here by copying docker-compose.yml into a directory and then doing docker-compose up or docker-compose up -d to bring the container up, and in the background, respectively. The docker-compose.yml uses a bind mount to ./data.

Older Pi's

Raspberry Pi's prior to the Pi3 have not been tested, and would not be recommended for use.
