Connected means TLS negotiation completed. Increasing TX counters confirms local socket writes, but neither result proves that TAK routed the CoT to clients. Use TEST Mode for an independent marker and confirm it on a TAK client.

Configuration

Bridge setup

Changes are validated and stored under princetak-data/config.

TAK server

One mutual-TLS streaming connection per simulator

Simulators

Add one configuration for each PRINCE video/KLV source.

Security

Client certificates

Upload named identities, then assign one to every simulator. Private material is stored only under princetak-data/certs.

Saved certificates

TAK group membership follows the certificate assigned to each simulator.

No saved certificates.

PEM files

Save a client certificate and matching private key.

PKCS#12 bundle

Save a P12 or PFX client identity.

Shared TAK server CA

Used by every simulator connection to verify the globally configured TAK server.

Diagnostics

TEST Mode

Send a synthetic CoT marker without using PRINCE multicast, KLV, or the bridge worker.

Independent CoT marker

Uses a separate one-shot TCP/TLS connection so simulator input cannot affect the result.

Maintenance

Restart schedule

The WebUI stays online; only the bridge worker is restarted.

Days

Diagnostics

Bridge logs

Persistent, rotated logs from the managed bridge worker.

No log output.

Management

System settings

Container liveness remains independent from bridge readiness.

WebUI listener

Changing the port restarts the management process.

Docker health

Safe liveness information for Docker and reverse proxies.
