Run rtl_tcp in a container, exposing connections to it via port 1234.
Using --privileged and mapping the /dev/bus/usb volume, an RTL dongle is made available to the container.
Clients will be able to connect via port 1234 to the docker hosts's address.
sudo docker run -d -it -p 1234:1234 --device /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb kosdk/rtl-tcpUse the unified build tool. There are no additional parameters to configure.
This image checks to ensure that the script is running.
