sdr-enthusiasts/docker-JAERO

Docker container for JAERO to receive/decode inmarsat ACARS via zmq from SDRReceiver.

---

This container is based on the excellent jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui. All the hard work has been done by them, for advanced usage I suggest you check out the README from jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui.
