One-Click TAKServer Version Upgrades

This was one of the most requested features! You can now upgrade your TAKServer version directly from the dashboard with a single click. The system handles everything automatically - backs up your configuration, downloads the new version, performs the upgrade, and restores your settings. You stay in control of when to upgrade, and your server stays up-to-date with the latest TAK.gov releases, security patches, and features.

Custom Firewall Management

Security is critical, so I added full firewall control directly in the dashboard. You can now create, modify, and delete firewall rules without touching the command line. Want to restrict TAK server access to specific IP ranges? Need to open ports for custom services? Want to block certain regions? Now you can do all of this through an intuitive interface. The firewall rules are applied instantly, and you can see exactly what traffic is allowed or blocked at any time.

Certificate File Downloader

You can now download your TAK Server certificate files directly from the TAKGRID dashboard. This makes it much easier to distribute certificates if needed. The certificate downloader gives you instant access to all the necessary files without needing SSH access or command-line knowledge.

Shared Seat Access System

I've been working on making TAKGRID more accessible for teams that don't need a full dedicated server. The new seat system lets you get TAK Server access with a simple monthly subscription - perfect for small teams or individuals who want to use TAK without managing infrastructure. You get one username and password that can be shared with your entire team (unlimited users!), full access to all the GOTS TAK Server features like DataSync, Mission Manager, and ExCheck, plus 90-day data retention for your packages and mission data. It's the easiest way to get started with TAK - no server management, no configuration headaches, just connect and go.
