[Virtual Radar Server] allows you to host your own, web based, [ADS-B] plotter. It will provide a webpage showing the location of, and information on, aircraft that are transmitting ADS-B messages. These messages, of course, have to be received. Luckily this can be accomplished cheaply and easily. Check out some of the following links.

In my case I needed to be able to run the entire thing offline and had access to a pretty expensive [uAvionix pingStation]. So in this article, we'll be using Virtual Radar Server, a pingStation, a Debian 9 server, and a local [Open Street Map] tile server.
