Build a TAK server

Mark Halliday from Mini Workgroups Ltd. will be presenting this month.

Join us for a practical, step-by-step workshop where we’ll walk through building and configuring a TAK Server from scratch. If you’ve ever wanted your own private backend for ATAK, WinTAK, or iTAK, this session will show you exactly how to get started.

### 🛠️ What We’ll Cover

• Installing a TAK Server on Linux
• Setting up core components including Java, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and networking
• Connecting TAK clients (ATAK / WinTAK / iTAK) to your server for real-time sharing
• Send drone telemetry through the TAK Server
• TAK Server plugins
• Reviewing best practices for security, certificates, and stable operation

Come ready to learn, experiment, and leave with your own fully functioning TAK Server.
