TAK Portal

User management for Authentik and TAK Server
Certificate enrollment, agency administration, and account control — built for public safety and government agencies.

---

Recommended Installation: InfraTAK

The recommended way to deploy TAK Portal is with InfraTAK.

InfraTAK is a browser-based infrastructure platform that deploys TAK Server, Authentik, and TAK Portal together — with automated LDAP, SSL, and QR enrollment. It also includes CloudTAK, MediaMTX, and Node-RED.

If you are standing up a new environment, start there. Manual installation of TAK Portal alone is supported for advanced or existing stacks, but InfraTAK is the path we recommend for most agencies.

	InfraTAK	Manual TAK Portal
TAK Server + Authentik + Portal	One-click stack	You assemble each piece
LDAP / SSL / enrollment	Automated	Manual configuration
Best for	New deployments	Existing Docker hosts

→ Deploy with InfraTAK

Support This Project

TAK Portal is used by state, local, and federal agencies. It is developed on personal time to serve the TAK community and solve real operational problems.

Support is never expected — but if the project has helped you or your agency, consider buying me a coffee.

What TAK Portal Does

TAK Portal is a lightweight Docker application that sits between Authentik and TAK Server. It provides a modern admin UI for:

• User and certificate lifecycle management
• Agency, group, and template administration
• Client enrollment and device setup flows
• Operational features such as Mutual Aid, Data Sync, and integrations

Designed for agencies that need reliability, simplicity, and security without unnecessary complexity.

---

Architecture

TAK Portal runs as a Docker container and integrates with self-hosted:

Component	Role
Authentik	Identity provider — users, groups, authentication
TAK Server	Situational awareness platform
Caddy	Reverse proxy (optional; required for Global and Agency admin features)

---

Manual Installation

Use this path only if you already operate Authentik and TAK Server, or you cannot use InfraTAK.

Prerequisites

• Linux host with Docker
• Self-hosted Authentik
  • Authentik LDAP setup
  • Authentik API setup
• TAK Server with webadmin.p12 and CA certificate (tak-ca.pem / takserver.pem)
  • Connect TAK Server to Authentik LDAP
• Caddy or another reverse proxy (optional; required for Global and Agency administrators)
  • Caddy configuration

Install & Start

git clone https://github.com/ValleyTacticalSolutions/TAK-Portal
cd TAK-Portal

Optional — set a custom UI port (default 3000):

./takportal config

Start TAK Portal (installs dependencies and starts the container):

./takportal start

Initial Configuration

1. Open http://<server-ip>:3000 (or your configured port).
2. Open Server Settings (bottom of the sidebar).
3. Set the Authentik URL and Authentik API token.
4. Configure TAK Server (recommended):
   • TAK URL (include the correct port; keep /Marti at the end)
   • Upload webadmin.p12 and tak-ca.pem
   • Provide the webadmin password (often atakatak by default)
5. Click Save.

First Steps

1. Manage Agencies — create your first agency.
2. Groups — create groups for your state, county, or agency.
3. Agency Templates — define templates for your users.
4. Create Users — enroll your first user.
