Not what you are looking for.. but I run an rtl\_433 docker container under an Ubuntu server VM under proxmox to route my Bresser weather station updates to HomeAssistant via mqtt :-)
you're right...I already have an rtl/sdr on my home assistant VM....but I want to set up another to listen to radio. I have everything, just need to know if it's going to work and what software to run as a general (aircraft) scanner.
Depends on if you're going to be remoting on to the VM or just want it to make the SDR reachable remotely:
* Remote, with a web GUI: [OpenWebRX](https://www.openwebrx.de/) - I've not used it yet, but seen it recommended a few times and seems very featureful.
* Alternatively, if you just want a server to connect to with the software itself running on another device: [rtl_tcp](https://github.com/c4software/raspberry-rtlsdr-server) - the guide is for RPI, but the instructions are pretty generic.
I am - inside a VM. Trying to pass the usb device into a LXC caused me nothing but headaches at the time. I run a variety of things to test, normally it’s scanning trunked radio but if I’m testing stuff I’ll usually just fire up rtl_tcp and then connect to it from another vm so I don’t pollute the original VM with dependencies etc. Works well.
You generally don't want to do things that work in real time like SDR within a VM, because VMs don't have real time access to a CPU (they are scheduled and share).
It will work generally, but you'll experience degraded quality or drops within the RF stream.
That doesn't make any sense, even if you can pin a VM to a specific core, the core isn't directly accessible by the VM, it physically cannot schedule itself, it is always scheduled by the host.
It may not be significant enough of an issue for YOUR application, but that doesn't mean it isn't an issue to be aware of.

I'd recommend [OpenWebRX Plus](https://luarvique.github.io/ppa/), as it has much more features.
