 This work-in-progress document will list all of the ADS-B services from around the internet (as well from the [[flight:adsb|OARC tracker]]!) that you can feed data too. They all have advantages and disadvantages according to services provided, what you get for feeding, and your moral choices (as you'll see).

+Links are provided to where you'll find install information for feeding each website, although you'll have to pick an appropriate path depending on your setup. For most people this will be readsb + individual install scripts for each website, rather than using a full image from a particular website like FR24 - it's the best way to manage things.

+This side of the community can get a little weird. People fall out with each other, projects split, projects merge. Here's the current state of the open-source replacements to ADSB Exchange after that site got sold and what the various people involved created. All use the ADSB Exchange software stack and support MLAT.

+  * [[https://adsb.fi|ADSB.fi]] seems to be the biggest replacement to ADSB Exchange and has a decent feeder community now. There was talk of a merger with another site (see below) but this may be on hold now. It is probably still worth feeding them if you're just interested in the largest community right now.[[https://github.com/adsbfi/adsb-fi-scripts|Instructions]]

+  * [[https://airplanes.live|Airplanes.live]] is the result of a merger between adsb.one (a site that sprang up straight after the ADSB Exchange sale) and adsb.fi, only that hasn't really gone through yet and nobody really knows if adsb.fi will eventually join them. There was a falling out over control and management of parts of the new organisation, so now it seems like the project is just adsb.one on its own with a new name.
