+## Running as a Service (Auto-Start)
+
+To run Pixel-ADSB automatically on boot, create a systemd service:
+
+### 1. Create the service file
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pixel-adsb.service
+```
+
+Add this content (adjust paths as needed):
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Pixel-ADSB Flight Tracker
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+WorkingDirectory=/path/to/pixel-view
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/pixel-view/server.py
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=5
+StandardOutput=append:/var/log/pixel-adsb.log
+StandardError=append:/var/log/pixel-adsb.log
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+### 2. Enable and start the service
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable pixel-adsb
+sudo systemctl start pixel-adsb
+```
+
+### 3. Check status
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status pixel-adsb
+```
+
+### 4. View logs
+
+```bash
+tail -f /var/log/pixel-adsb.log
+```

 A retro SNES-style side-view flight tracker that displays ADS-B aircraft data with custom pixel art sprites.
 
+![Pixel-ADSB Screenshot](screenshots/screenshot.png)
+
 ## Features
 
 - Real-time aircraft tracking via ADS-B receivers
-- Custom pixel art sprites for 6 aircraft types
-- Animated sun and moon with accurate positions based on location
-- Weather visualization (clouds, rain/snow)
-- Directional view (N/E/S/W) with unique backgrounds
+- Custom pixel art sprites for 6 aircraft types (small prop, regional jet, narrow body, wide body, heavy, helicopter)
+- Animated sun and moon with accurate astronomical positions
+- Dynamic sky colors based on time of day
+- Weather visualization with cloud sprites
+- Directional view (N/E/S/W) with themed backgrounds
+- Auto-discovery of ADS-B receivers on your network
 - Canvas-based 10 FPS retro rendering
 
 ## Quick Start
 
 ```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://gitea.chops.one/allen/Pixel-ADSB.git
+cd Pixel-ADSB
+
 # Install dependencies
-pip install aiohttp netifaces
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Configure your location (required for weather and celestial positioning)
+# Edit config.json and set your lat/lon coordinates
 
 # Start the server
 python3 server.py
 ```
 
-Access at http://localhost:2001 (or configured port in config.json)
+Access at http://localhost:2001
 
 ## Requirements
 
 - Python 3.8+
-- ADS-B receiver providing SBS/BaseStation format on port 30003
+- ADS-B receiver providing SBS/BaseStation format on port 30003 (dump1090, readsb, etc.)
 - Modern web browser with Canvas support
 
-## Documentation
+## Configuration
 
-- [CONFIG.md](CONFIG.md) - Configuration options and background themes
-- [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md) - Development guidance
+Edit `config.json` to customize your installation:
 
-## Aircraft Types
+```json
+{
+  "receivers": "AUTO",
+  "receiver_port": 30003,
+  "location": {
+    "name": "My Location",
+    "lat": 36.2788,
+    "lon": -115.2283
+  },
+  "web_port": 2001,
+  "theme": "desert"
+}
+```
 
-| Type | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| Small Prop | Light aircraft, N-prefix callsigns |
-| Regional Jet | Regional carriers |
-| Narrow Body | 737/A320 class |
-| Wide Body | 777/787 class |
-| Heavy | 747/A380 class |
-| Helicopter | Low altitude, slow speed |
+**Important:** Set your `location.lat` and `location.lon` for accurate weather and sun/moon positioning.
+
+See [CONFIG.md](CONFIG.md) for full configuration options including custom backgrounds and running as a service.
 
 ## Controls
 
 - **Arrow Keys / A/D**: Rotate view direction
 - View cycles through North, East, South, West
+- Click aircraft in sidebar to highlight
+
+## Aircraft Types
+
+| Type | Detection |
+|------|-----------|
+| Helicopter | Low altitude + slow speed |
+| Heavy (747/A380) | High altitude or specific callsigns |
+| Wide Body | Very high altitude/speed |
+| Narrow Body | Default commercial |
+| Regional Jet | Regional carrier callsigns or lower altitude |
+| Small Prop | N-prefix callsigns or very low/slow |
+
+## Custom Backgrounds
+
+Create backgrounds for your location:
+
+1. Add 4 directional images to `backgrounds/custom/` (north.png, east.png, south.png, west.png)
+2. Set `"theme": "custom"` in config.json
+3. Restart the server
+
+See [CONFIG.md](CONFIG.md) for image specifications and tips.
+
+## Running as a Service
+
+To auto-start on boot, see the systemd service instructions in [CONFIG.md](CONFIG.md#running-as-a-service-auto-start).
+
+## Compatible Receivers
+
+Works with any receiver providing SBS/BaseStation format on port 30003:
+- dump1090 / dump1090-fa / dump1090-mutability
+- readsb
+- ADS-B Exchange feeders
+- FlightAware PiAware
+- Any SBS1 compatible receiver
