I’m looking to build a receiver to provide a feed to the site and was wondering if it is possible to use an orange pi as I have a couple of them currently looking for a home. I have seen them used for flightaware but I could not find any mention online of them being used for adsbx.

You can use anything that will run a Debian-based OS. You won’t be able to use the ADSBx RPi image, though. You’d have to install a decoder first (suggest [Automatic installation for readsb · wiedehopf/adsb-scripts Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-scripts/wiki/Automatic-installation-for-readsb)), then add the ADSBx feed ([Existing Equipment - ADS-B Exchange](https://www.adsbexchange.com/ways-to-join-the-exchange/existing-equipment/)).
