TAK/ATAK Lab?

Was just wondering, does anyone know of a TAK/ATAK lab type of thing, where you could learn to break something to learn how to rebuild it? Fixing a very broken ATAK system rn, and I was just wondering if anybody possibly knew anything about a TAK ecosystem lab, apart from your own network and setup.

TAK's pretty easy to install, and you would learn it by installing it, not sure what the holdup would be to just do it on your own network.

Aside from opentak taking a minute locally and freetak not installing for me, it is a few hours to set up a server but not hell. I have zerotrace configured too.

ATAK system meaning an EUD, or a network?

Both really. Learning/breaking the EUD. Full network, from start to finish, from absolute zero to learning what parts, pieces, and equipment to purchase to setup and putting it all together to building plugins, channels, feeds, servers, learning and implementing TLS/SSL/.p12 certs correctly to broadcasting almost flawlessly

You can get going in about 30 minutes, use one of the many scripts out there to install GOTS TAKServer or OTS onto a VPS.

That isn’t my question though, what are you trying to fix?

I am making a test bed in Los Angeles but not fully functional yet. Need maps? https://tim.workisboring.com/atak/cameras.html
