All was working well for a month or so ... but now the map fails to load.
I think that the reason is that the Google Maps interface now requires an API key.
Perhaps there was a grace period before they enforce it.
I think it then needs to go into ~/dump1090/public_html/gmap.html
with key=xxxxxxxxx
in the call with /maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js
Since this API key would be different for each user then I think that this should be in a configuration file that then gets into the right place during the make process.
An alternative route would be to use a different map provider. I think that work has been done in a version of dump1090 to support that.
Some guidance in the readme file might be enough because working with Docker is not always obvious.

Anyway - getting a key is easy enough https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
