Raw Blame History

Why

Recordings from the RTLSDR-Airband CB scanner are stored as MP3 files on the Pi's filesystem (/home/m/recordings/), organized by channel and date. There's currently no way to browse or listen to them without SSH access. A web server with directory listing would make recordings browsable and playable from any device on the local network.

What Changes

Add an Nginx container to docker-compose.yml that serves the recordings directory with autoindex enabled
Users browse directories and click MP3 files to play them natively in the browser

Capabilities

New Capabilities

recording-browser: Nginx autoindex serving the recordings directory over HTTP, with browser-native MP3 playback

Modified Capabilities

(none)

Impact

Docker deployment: New Nginx service added to docker-compose.yml, sharing the /home/m/recordings volume (read-only)
Pi resources: Negligible — Nginx Alpine uses ~2MB RAM
Network: Exposes HTTP port on the Pi's local network
