SkyBro is a real-time sky tracker: live aircraft (OpenSky), ISS/Hubble/ Tiangong satellite pass alerts (n2yo), weather (Open-Meteo), and a full astronomy planner (ephem), with push alerts via Pushover and/or Discord. Two-service app (tracker + dashboard), no database beyond local SQLite, first-run browser onboarding with automatic location detection, no required env vars, all configuration via the in-app Settings page.

Hey @xDeeKay, huge apologies for the wait here. I really appreciate your patience and all the care you put into both SkyBro and this submission. It’s a really lovely app! I went ahead and made a few small maintainer-side updates to get everything finalized:
Everything is working really well from an Umbrel packaging perspective. Thanks again for building this and for putting together such a thoughtful submission. Going live! 🚀

Version: 1.5.6
Summary
Adds SkyBro, a real-time sky tracker: live aircraft (OpenSky Network ADS-B data), ISS/Hubble/Tiangong satellite pass alerts (n2yo.com), hyperlocal weather (Open-Meteo), and a full astronomy planner (planets, 110 Messier objects, meteor showers, moon phase, Bortle sky quality) via the local
ephemlibrary.Sends push alerts via Pushover and/or Discord when a plane enters a configured radius/altitude window or a satellite pass is approaching.
Two-service app (tracker + web dashboard), no database beyond local SQLite, no required environment variables.
First-run browser onboarding detects an approximate home location from the browser's timezone, no SSH or manual config needed.
Every setting is configured through the in-app Settings page and hot-reloaded by the tracker, no container restart needed.
Containers run as a non-root user (UID/GID 1000).
Verification
Umbrel testing performed: fresh install and an in-place version update both tested through the actual Umbrel app lifecycle (install/uninstall via the Umbrel Apps UI, and a version bump deployed in place).
Verified main functionality end-to-end: live aircraft tracking, alert firing (Pushover + Discord, including photo attachment), satellite pass computation, weather/astronomy data, history logging with recorded flight paths, and settings persistence across restarts.
Also cross-browser/OS tested on Windows 11, iPadOS 17.7 (Safari), Android 12 (Chrome), and SteamOS 3.8 Desktop Mode (Firefox).
Environment tested:
Architecture tested:
Known lint warnings or caveats:
restart: unless-stoppedis used instead ofon-failurefor both services, intentionally: the tracker is meant to run continuously 24/7, andunless-stoppedensures it comes back after a host reboot or an unexpected exit, not just an application-level failure.npm run lint:apps -- skybro --check-imageswas run locally; theimage.pullablecheck reported a fetch failure for both images from this test network, independently confirmed viadocker pull,docker buildx imagetools inspect, and a raw curl replicating the linter's own registry API calls that both images are genuinely public and correctly multi-arch (linux/amd64 + linux/arm64).The failure reproduces as a Node
fetch()connection timeout specific to this network's route to Docker Hub's registry backend, not the images themselves.Notes
No permissions, dependencies, or migrations. No default credentials (defaultUsername/defaultPassword are empty; no login of its own, protected only by Umbrel's own app_proxy auth at its default setting).
