TAK Portal is a lightweight, modern user-management portal designed to integrate seamlessly with Authentik and TAK Server for streamlined certificate and account control. Built for agencies who need reliability, simplicity, and security.
It is certainly not a requirement, but if you have found TAK Portal helpful to you or your agency, please consider supporting me. My goal is to serve the TAK community and to solve real world problems.
TAK Portal runs as a lightweight Docker container and is designed to interface with self hosted versions of:
- Authentik – Identity Provider (Users, Groups, Authentication)
- TAK Server – Situational Awareness Tool
- Caddy – Reverse Proxy
Before installing, you should have:
- Access to a Linux/Ubuntu machine running Docker
- Access to a self-hosted instance of Authentik
- Access to a TAK Server including a webadmin.p12 and takserver.pem certificate
- Caddy or another reverse proxy service (Optional, but required if wishing to make use of Global and Agency level administrators)
The best way to deploy TAK Portal, Authentik, and all other components is to deploy https://github.com/takwerx/infra-TAK
For manual deployment of TAK Portal:
On your Docker machine, run:
git clone https://github.com/AdventureSeeker423/TAK-Portal
(Optional) To set a custom web UI port (Default is 3000)
cd ~/TAK-Portal && ./takportal config
Start TAK Portal - This will install any dependencies and start the Docker container
cd ~/TAK-Portal && ./takportal start
- Open your browser and navigate to the Docker host IP and port.
Default:http://<server-ip>:3000
