Karshipta is two things: an open-source console and gateway you can self-host for free, and this hosted app at karshipta.com. This page covers karshipta.com; self-hosting docs live in the open-source repository.
Self-hosting Karshipta
The gateway (C++, speaks MAVLink to PX4/ArduPilot vehicles) and the console (the web dashboard) are both AGPL-3.0 and run entirely on your own infrastructure. No account, no cloud dependency.

The guest map on karshipta.com
Landing on karshipta.com opens a live map with a silent, read-only session: no login, no tracking prompt. Clicking a vehicle shows its public telemetry (mode, altitude, speed, battery, link status); there is no path from a guest session to a command, by construction.
Vehicles on the public map today are a seeded demo fleet, so the map is never empty. Once public fleet sharing opens, an operator's telemetry only appears here if they explicitly opt in, and the feed is sanitized before it ever reaches a browser: delayed, coordinate- decimated, home position never exposed.
Coming soon
Accounts and hosted fleet management are in development. Until then, self-hosting the console is the way to fly and manage your own vehicles.
