Glad it worked out for you!

Very excellent video. I have experimented with the vast ways to deploy TAKSERVER and found it frustrating. The one with docker on ubuntu really annoying me. This was really straight forward. Thanks. Question do the provided scripts HAVE to use atak as a user? I initially tired this guide with a different username and somthing didn't work right.

[@thetaksyndicate6234]

Needs atak user or modify the script

[@tratzum]

@@thetaksyndicate6234 dumb question but for the life of me I can't find the answer. My pc and VMs were rebooted. How do I get takserver started again? The VM is on logged in to atak. My host machine can ping the VM but I can't load the takserver url.

Hello, thank you for the tutorial. I followed all the steps and I already have my server up and running, but I have an issue: when I try to use my sub domain and username/pass in iTAK, It seems like it's connected but doesn't let me perform the data sync or create or download missions. Thanks again

[@thetaksyndicate6234]

Well its iTAK your mileage may vary. Its still very beta. I rarely use iTAK but Colorado are big users and they have a youtube channel with quite a bit of itak stuff. www.youtube.com/@coetak

[@jeremykrohnfeldt3097]

Great video! I do not see the MASTER_SERVER_FOLDER in the download list, only the scripts folder shows up.

[@thetaksyndicate6234]

Hey Jeremy good catch! Its fixed now somehow I removed it!

Can you make a video on making ITAK CERTs? I’ve got this up and running without letencrypt. The Atak certs are working on my android devices. I followed the mytechnet article about making the certs but it doesn’t explain how to make the necessary.p12 files that were not included in this video

[@thetaksyndicate6234]

so if you go to mytecknet on the takserver deployment guide at the top there is a link to "managing users and groups" click on that, then role down to the soft certificate management, thats what you need for iTAK. This will create the user.p12 file you want, so if you name the user itak1, then in opt/tak/certs/files you will see that itak1.p12 file there. Then follow the guide on creating data packages. He has a part on itak. itak does not need the manifest file in its own folder, actually atak doesnt need anymore either. just zip up manifest, pref, truststrore and user.p12 and your good. Now i have to say, using LetsEncrypt and enrollment is way better than managing certs.

Sorry I have problems is now have takerserver-5.2-release16 how do I to change the installa to install the new one to own ssd server if you look this message I hope can help me because in your website only have 5.1 releases 16 I really want to know how to up date and install new one

[@thetaksyndicate6234]

Hey there I will get you a detailed list what needs to be changed in the scripts to make this work. Pretty painless

[@thetaksyndicate6234]

Ok so go to the install.sh, its the one that is labeled RL8.9_tak5.1r40_install.sh. Open that up in a text editor. You can do a save as and rename it to the version you are using so for 5.2 it would now be RL8.9_tak5.2r16_install.sh then in the new version scroll down to where it says ++++INSTALL TAK SERVER+++++ you can ignore changing anything that has # in front of it or or echo. The line you want to change to match the name of the installer is sudo dnf install takserver-5.1-release40.noarch.rpm -y. You want to make sure that line matches the version you are installing. Then if you are using my commands to copy paste just edit them in the command line after pasting to match your version.

Will these scripts need any modification if ran on Rocky 8 on a raspberry PI?

[@thetaksyndicate6234]

Not sure its time FAFO and let us know!

[@criticalmass120]

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have followed the directions but when I log into the TAK Server I am going straight to a map. I don't see anything for administrator control.

[@thetaksyndicate6234]

Certain Machines are not restarting tak server in enough time so when the script to run the admin cert are ran nothing happens. Here is the fix. Get to command line. step 1 - cd /home/atak step 2 - sudo chmod +x promoteAdmin.sh step 3 - /.promoteAdmin.sh That will run the script and promote the admin cert. You should be good to go. Email me if you have anymore issues.

[@vaderman98]

Same thing happened to me

[@thetaksyndicate6234]

@@vaderman98 did you try the fix above? Run the promote admin script independently?

drag the rpm file to the atak folder. then sudo chmod + then hit return the ./ to execute. That will update it. But as good resource is at www.mytecknet.com There is a section on TAK-SERVER update.

Having issues when the install completes and it fails to find takserver.services to start/restart. Then it will not create any certificates as none of the directories exist e.g: copying admin.p12 to /home/atak/ cp: cannot stat '/opt/tak/certs/files/admin.p12': No such file or directory changing owner of /home/atak/admin.p12 to atak user chown: cannot access '/home/atak/admin.p12': No such file or directory Any help would be appreciated.

John what are you deploying it on? Can you email me. The contact info is on the youtube channel info

[@JohnThimble-ll6tm]

Further to my last: I've tried CentOS 7 and DigitalOcean, they all end up with the same fault - daemon-reload start takserver service Failed to start takserver.service: Unit takserver.service not found. enable takserver service Failed to enable unit: Unit file takserver.service does not exist.

[@JohnThimble-ll6tm]

Investigating further, @ 21:37 your terminal states that takserver.service is not a native service. And goes on to execute in from that file structure. That does not happen for me, nor do I have that that file under that directory. Is anyone able to shed some light?
