Capturing UDP broadcasts within the same Docker network where the radiosonde resides.

[tushroy]

I found it difficult to capture the UDP broadcast within the same Docker network, except by using the host network — which may not always be feasible.
What I want to achieve is to extract the raw data from radiosonde_auto_rx and either store it in a different database or process it with a separate system.
Since I'm having difficulty achieving this, are there any plans to provide an alternative method for accessing the data?
For example, could radiosonde_auto_rx support HTTP POST of the raw JSON data to a user-defined endpoint configured in station.config, allowing other systems to use the data?

At the moment, that's not planned. I do appreciate that the UDP data is a bit difficult to get access to, and maybe I should look at setting up something like MQTT alongside.
To get access to the data right now, you could possibly make use of the web-sockets (sockert.io) interface that the web interface uses.

Thank you Mark, for considering it.
Even MQTT will do. I will have a look into the web-sockets meanwhile.

I suspect that using the python socket.io client might allow accessing the messages sent from the server: https://python-socketio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client.html

I think pretty much the same data that's sent out via UDP is sent to the web interface live via socket.io
