The network map has been updated on the site to show actual nodes, discovered by the mesh crawler, and planned nodes from information sent in. Actual nodes have a green marker with a 'A', and proposed nodes have a blue marker with a 'P'.

The public site has been deprecated, and has been replaced by the PNW Information site on the mesh. You can find it at http://va6edn-server.local.mesh/va6edn.

This topic is intended for posts about the linking network.

From the AREDN Development Team via W6BI As we start on the AREDN Development Plan for 2022, we need some help testing the current nightly builds. Unlike previous nightly builds, these builds are more likely to be unstable and should *not* be used on any node where physical access is a problem. We don’t expect failures, but the changes we’ll be making are significant. Replacing Perl with Lua The currently nightly build has replaced all the backend services, originally written in Perl, with code written in Lua. It also replaces the “read-only” web pages with Lua pages. These pages are ‘status’, mesh’, ‘signal’, and ‘scan’. You can tell it’s a Lua page as we’ve added a little “Lua version” to the top/right of the page. These pages should behave identically to the Perl pages they replace; show the same information and perform similarly (the old pages are still available with the names “status.pl’, ‘mesh.pl’, ‘signal.pl’ and ‘scan.pl’ if you want to compare). While many of us have been running these builds for a while without problem, the more eyes and the more varied hardware these are tested on the better. Please log any issues at “https://github.com/aredn/aredn/issues” and thanks for your help. Orv W6BI 73, Mark, N2MH -- MeshPhone: 973-2111 MeshMail: n2mh@...

This project was suggested by Bud, VE6BUD to get start some activity on the 1296 MHz band and also provide access to the network. It will involve resurrecting the existing D-Star repeater, VE6GHZ and providing DHCP, DNS and gateway services to the AREDN network. Input is welcomed.
