+# aprsc-docker
+Dockerized APRSC using Debian Buster
+
+This is a Dockerized version of hessu.fi/aprsc. 
+APRSC is an APRS-IS server implementation written in C. 
+APRSC can be used to create personal or private APRS network, instead of using the global APRS-IS network.
+
+## Installation
+
+Before running the docker commands, configure the APRSC service by editting the aprsc.conf
+```
+# nano ./config/etc/aprsc.conf
+```
+
+Fill out your server name, pass code (generate one from apps.magicbug.co.uk/passcode) and your information. 
+Make sure to read all the configuration files properly and once you're done save the changes.
+Start the docker-container by using these following commands:
+
+```
+$ docker-compose up -d
+```
