## Summary - **ADS-B & AIS:** OpenSky and AISStream OSINT feeds upsert into the CoT store; tactical tracks still arrive via adsbcot/aiscot on `:8089`. Map clients subscribe via `GET /api/cot/stream` (SSE) with viewport bbox filtering and Air / Surface / Team layer toggles. - **ALPR (Flock/OSM):** Toggleable license-plate reader layer sourced from OpenStreetMap, with SQLite cache, Overpass fallback, tiled viewport fetching, and clustered markers with direction cones. - **Map performance:** Ring-based tile selection (fixes zoom-out crash), immutable tile cache, incremental marker sync, split cluster load/query, and padded SSE bbox to reduce reconnect churn. ## Docs - `docs/tracking.md` — ADS-B/AIS accuracy tiers, freshness, self-hosted receivers, optional OSINT API keys - `docs/map-and-cameras.md` — ALPR layer and map behavior updates --------- Co-authored-by: Madison Grubb <madison@elastiflow.com> Reviewed-on: #36

# ATAK and iTAK
|
|
|
|
KestrelOS acts as a **TAK Server**. ATAK (Android) and iTAK (iOS) connect on **port 8089** (CoT). Devices relay positions to each other and appear on the KestrelOS map.
|
|
|
|
ADS-B and AIS via [adsbcot](https://github.com/snstac/adsbcot) / [aiscot](https://github.com/snstac/aiscot): see [tracking.md](tracking.md).
|
|
|
|
## Connection
|
|
|
|
**Host:** KestrelOS hostname/IP
|
|
**Port:** `8089` (CoT)
|
|
**SSL:** Enable if server uses TLS (`.dev-certs/` or production cert)
|
|
|
|
**Authentication:**
|
|
- **Username:** KestrelOS identifier
|
|
- **Password:** Login password (local) or ATAK password (OIDC; set in **Account**)
|
|
|
|
## ATAK (Android)
|
|
|
|
1. **Settings** → **Network** → **Connections** → Add **TAK Server**
|
|
2. Set **Host** and **Port** (`8089`)
|
|
3. Enable **Use Authentication**, enter username/password
|
|
4. Save and connect
|
|
|
|
## iTAK (iOS)
|
|
|
|
**Option A - QR code (easiest):**
|
|
1. KestrelOS **Settings** → **TAK Server** → Scan QR with iTAK
|
|
2. Enter username/password when prompted
|
|
|
|
**Option B - Manual:**
|
|
1. **Settings** → **Network** → Add **TAK Server**
|
|
2. Set **Host**, **Port** (`8089`), enable SSL if needed
|
|
3. Enable **Use Authentication**, enter username/password
|
|
4. Save and connect
|
|
|
|
## Self-Signed Certificate (iTAK)
|
|
|
|
If server uses self-signed cert (`.dev-certs/`):
|
|
|
|
**Upload server package:**
|
|
1. KestrelOS **Settings** → **TAK Server** → **Download server package (zip)**
|
|
2. Transfer to iPhone (AirDrop, email, Safari)
|
|
3. iTAK: **Settings** → **Network** → **Servers** → **+** → **Upload server package**
|
|
4. Enter username/password
|
|
|
|
**Or use plain TCP:**
|
|
1. Stop KestrelOS, remove `.dev-certs/`, restart
|
|
2. Add server with **SSL disabled**
|
|
|
|
**ATAK (Android):** Download trust store from `https://your-server/api/cot/truststore`, import `.p12` (password: `kestrelos`), or use server package/plain TCP.
|
|
|
|
## OIDC Users
|
|
|
|
OIDC users must set an **ATAK password** first:
|
|
1. Sign in with OIDC
|
|
2. **Account** → **ATAK / device password** → set password
|
|
3. Use KestrelOS username + ATAK password in TAK client
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Default | Description |
|
|
|----------|---------|-------------|
|
|
| `COT_PORT` | `8089` | CoT server port |
|
|
| `COT_REQUIRE_AUTH` | `true` | Require authentication |
|
|
| `COT_SSL_CERT` | `.dev-certs/cert.pem` | TLS cert path |
|
|
| `COT_SSL_KEY` | `.dev-certs/key.pem` | TLS key path |
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**"Error authenticating" with no `[cot]` logs:**
|
|
- Connection not reaching server (TLS handshake failed or firewall blocking)
|
|
- Check server logs show `[cot] CoT server listening on 0.0.0.0:8089`
|
|
- Verify port `8089` (not `3000`) and firewall allows it
|
|
- For TLS: trust cert (server package) or use plain TCP
|
|
|
|
**"Error authenticating" with `[cot]` logs:**
|
|
- Username must be KestrelOS identifier
|
|
- Password must match (local: login password; OIDC: ATAK password)
|
|
|
|
**Devices not on map:** They appear only while sending updates; drop off after TTL (~90s).
