This project and its use of the deepstatemap.live API has been officially authorized by the deepstatemap.live team, however, I am not affiliated with or part of that team.

Description

What is deepstatemap.live?

deepstatemap.live is a website which provides a tactical map of the Ukraine conflict. Their data is gained from OSINT sources, processed by AI and then presented as a map. The wesbite is https://deepstatemap.live

TAK server feeder

This feeder pulls the data from the deepstatemap.live API, converts the latest set of objects to CoT messages and sends them to a TAK server.

Configuration

The following values are supported and can be provided either as environment variables or through an .env-file.

Variable	Default	Purpose
REMOTE_SERVER_URL	empty	(mandatory) TAK server full URL, e.g. ssl://takserver:8089
REMOTE_SSL_USER_CERTIFICATE	empty	(mandatory for ssl) User certificate in PEM format
REMOTE_SSL_USER_KEY	empty	(mandatory for ssl) User certificate key file (xxx.key)
PULL_INTERVAL	300	(optional) Update intervall in seconds
LOGCOT	false	(optional) Log created CoTs to the console
UUID	empty	(optional) Set feeder UID - if not set, the feeder will create one

Note: At the moment, only SSL TCP connections are supported.

Certificates

These are the server-issued certificate and key files. Before using, the password needs to be removed from the key file with openssl rsa -in cert.key -out cert-nopw.key. OpenSSL will ask for the key password which usually is "atakatak".

Container use

First, get your certificate and key and copy them to a suitable folder which needs to be added as a volume to the container.

Image

The image is built for AMD64 and ARM64 and pushed to ghcr.io: ghcr.io/sgofferj/tak-feeder-deepstate:latest

Docker

First, rename .env.example to .env and edit according to your needs
Create and start the container:

docker run -d --env-file .env -v <path-to-certificate-directory>:/certs:ro --name tak-feeder-deepstate --restart always ghcr.io/sgofferj/tak-feeder-deepstate:latest
