Our current SDR online list: https://list.websdr.fun Paul has done a good job to list them (almost) all. The old ones keep working for some time, but links will be stopped at some point.

Hello everyone and greetings from Germany.

I have already searched, but unfortunately I can't find anything.

I am looking for help to set up the PhantomSDR step by step.

I would like to run it on my Proxmox.

I also have basic knowledge of Linux. But this is just beyond my knowledge :(

Let me describe how far I get.

So installing Ubuntu, updating etc. is no problem.

Installing the prerequisites also works.

I then change to /opt for the installation.

I always try to build the binary files automatically.
It also goes through and in the last step I select the RX888.

From then on, unfortunately, I can't get any further :(

Welcome aboard!

Please post your setup inside these two files :

config-rx888mk2.toml & start-rx888mk2.sh

Hello Phil,

before i Post the setup, further Informations ;)

I build again a new Server.

And before i try again to get the RX888 running, i make some trys with a Nooelec V5 and RTL-SDR Blog V3 (Gen) an a Gen RSP1a.

I copied the settings from https://github.com/Steven9101/PhantomSDR-Plus/wiki/Config-examples.

i run the startup files with ./start-xxxx from the folder. Webserver is running, but the audio sounds strange and i only can enter Frequencys in the Range of the Waterfall.

Now it seems to work  :)

After i correct the input SPS ;)

Now i can dig deeper ;)

Promox isn't fast enough to run an RX888 wideband.
As you need GPU + CPU power, there won't be much room to run anything else.

As Promox is a virtual-container-server, it won't have enough power.
You need direct-videocard access via OpenCL.

I really doubt Promox supplies this, as it's meant for virtual-servers etc.

Also direct hardware access because it's realtime high-speed USB traffic.

Sorry my friend, you really need to install a native Ubuntu 22.04 on a real hardware.
This is not something you can run in a container.

Best CPU's are Intel i5 and i7 with internal GPU, Gen6 or newer that support OpenCL.
Best regards,

Dare I ask. I have a machine running on a Intel Xeon CPU E5-2630L, there is no video core. Is such a computer suitable for our purposes?
