Is it necessary readsb to start in the container if tar1090 getting data from an external source? If not, is it possible to add env var READSB_ENABLE for example.

Thanks!

Readsb is used to collect data from any source, including RTLSDR devices and also other Beast / SBS / Raw / etc sources. It's also needed as a backend to tar1090 (website generation), etc. So no -- you can't switch it off.
