Publish what your receiver hears, once, to a network nobody owns.
Tally is an open network for ADS-B receivers. Your receiver signs what it hears and sends it to a few relays that anyone may run, and anyone may use what they carry. No company sits in the middle holding the list of feeders, so no company can switch the network off.
Install in one line
On a Raspberry Pi, or any Linux box already running readsb:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/flightlines/tally/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sudo bash
The installer adds one more reader of readsb’s output and changes nothing else. Your other feeds keep running exactly as they were.
Other ways to installLive traffic
The live map turns on when the public relay does. Until then there is no traffic to draw.
The network now
The public relay is not running yet, so there are no network figures to show. They appear here, live, the day it starts.
Why nobody owns it
Anyone can run a relay
Relays check each batch’s signature and pass it on unchanged. Your feeder publishes to several at once, so no single relay can cut you off.
Your antenna is a key
The feeder makes its own key when you install it. There is no account and no signup, so there is nobody who can revoke you.
Every batch is signed
Anyone downstream can check that what arrives is exactly what your receiver heard. A relay can drop data, but it cannot change it or invent it.
The data stays open
You dedicate your receptions under CC0. What relays publish is under the ODbL, so nobody can take it private.
What a feeder gets
Your receptions reach every client at once, through relays you choose, under your own key. Your station has its own page showing what the network heard from it. And nothing on your box takes orders from the network: no remote configuration, no self-update, no listening port.
