Kraken-to-TAK-Python setup

Dear, comunity,

I have isues by setup krakensdr+ Kraken-to-TAK-Python + TAK app in android phone. I don’t understand, perhaps I am missing one or two steps or doing something wrong.

First of all Kraken and Rasberry Pi 4 is working. I can connect to UI.
I have set local source to “Static” as it was written in the instruction here: 12. KrakenSDR Tak Server · krakenrf/krakensdr_docs Wiki · GitHub.
I have also eritten manually the coordinates.

Next I have opened TAK server UI window and fullfiled all necessary information:
Kraken server IP: 192.168.50.5
Kreken Id: 1
Takserver IP: 192.168.50.5
Tak sewrve Port: 8087

The rasberry PI local ip is 192.168.50.5. So I used this IP for kraken server IPv4. The Tak server is running on the same kraken so I used the same IP address. I have used the port 8087. I push save and everthing works fine, I got dialog window that everything was fine.

I have started the Tak server by command “python KrakenToTAK.py” It is running. I have added the terrminal messages below:

From the log it looks what it is not taking my configfuration. I have changed to static source but it is looking for gps data. But it looks that server is running.

Now finally I am setting up the TAK app in Android:
Server name: 1
Server IP: 192.168.50.5
Advanced option
tcp
Server port: 8087
Use default SSL/TLS certificate

And I get result that connection refused:

My questions are:

  1. Maybe I am missing some steps, or doing something incorrectly. Choosing IP incorrectly?
  2. How to be sure, that TAK server is working correctly?
  3. Maybe it is necessary to set some exceptions for ports in rasberry pi?
  4. Maybe I have to use not tcp but other options with certificates?

I will appreciate any help that allows for me to find the solution. Maybe somewhere is the step by step instruction how to set all together?

I just realised that Kraken-to-Tak-python is just bridge software between the KrakenSDR server and TAK server which I have to install separately. Kraken-to-Tak-python is not the TAK server. I will inform about my success later.
