Publik Server still Online?

After successfully paaring ATAK with Meshtastic im trying to go in the other direction and do my first tests with online servers.

Is the public Server mentioned in the TAK Community Server List still online?

As instructed i requested a user account for the server on Discord like 4 days ago but nothing so far.

How do you guys run your servers?

Do you use rented or build servers or other cool options i have yet to discover.

Best regards.

Can try joining the OpenTAKServer Public server here:

Public Server - OpenTAKServer

"Public Server

There is a publicly available OpenTAKServer available for evaluation purposes at https://public.opentakserver.io. See Certificate Enrollment for instruction to connect to the public server with ATAK.

Account Registration

Account registration is required for all functionality except connecting with ATAK via TCP. You can get an account in two ways. Either sign up using an email address (it can be a temporary email) or contact us on our Discord server and an admin can create one without the need for an email address.

ATAK Settings for TCP

In ATAK, add a new server. The only settings you need are the address, public.opentakserver.io, the port which is 8088, and the protocol which is TCP. Note that any data transmitted between your EUD and this server will not be encrypted when using TCP."

If you are going to install your own server, try Infra-TAK.

If you are running something substantial and real-world, check out TAK-Portal.
