This Cockpit application manages LINCOT, the Linux GPS to TAK gateway: service control, /etc/default/lincot configuration, TLS certificates, and journal output in a web UI.
Download the .deb (Debian, Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS) or .rpm (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS Stream, Rocky, Alma) package from GitHub Releases:
# Debian & derivatives
sudo apt install ./cockpit-lincot_*_all.deb
# Red Hat & derivatives
sudo dnf install ./cockpit-lincot-*.noarch.rpmInstall LINCOT itself alongside the plugin.
Reload Cockpit — Edge Position (LINCOT) appears under Tools.
make # build the plugin into dist/
sudo make install # install to /usr/share/cockpit/lincot
make devel-install # or: symlink into ~/.local/share/cockpit for development
make deb rpm # build packages with nfpmmake watch # rebuild on change
make ci # unit tests, eslint, stylelint, production bundleDifferent sensor, same workflow — pick the gateway for your application; most have a matching Cockpit plugin for browser-based management:

| Ships & vessels via AIS | aiscot | cockpit-aiscot, cockpit-aiscatcher |
| Drone / UAS Remote ID (counter-UAS) | dronecot | cockpit-dronecot |
