I'm trying to re-establish AAM function and AAMM on my nodes. I'm running various devices on 4.26.1.0
What I've found in my archives and what I find online is aamm_20231007-release-5bfa0be_all.ipk ... and it will not install as a package. The package installer is looking for .apk format and as the gitlab for AAMM hasn't been updated for two years I think we have a problem.
The advanced settings of Internal Services on the node make reference to Local Message URL and Message Groups ... which sounds a lot like what we used to control with the AAMM package. Is there a way to place a text file somewhere on the network, point a node at that text file using the advanced settings ... and have this work again?
The documentation at arednmesh.org for this feature is not detailed enough to help.
Thanks,
Ed

I revisited this and got one => 4.26.1.0 (20260416-b8f8ebe0 hap-ac2) to work.
hap-ac3 20260303-6030f5e9 fails
AR750 with 3.25.10.0 works.
AR750 with 20260303-6030f5e9 fails with or without a trailing slash.
loco-m2-xw with 3.25.10.0 fails.
LHG 5HPnD-XL with 3.25.10.0 works.
I am afraid to upgrade and lose this feature.

When you say you "got one to work" what exactly do you mean?
Also, am I correct that the firmware itself has the ability to visit a file somewhere and display the message in that file ... and the AAMM package was just a nice gui way to place and manage the messages themselves? I can't figure out how to manually place a text string or file somewhere and have a node pick it up and display the text in the yellow box ...
So would like the AAMM to be able to install on up to date firmware ... yes. Would also like to understand if the feature can still work without the AAM feature can work without the AAMM manager ... by some brute force method.

This afternoon I configured an AAM on my hap-ac2 that worked
http://nc8q-ac2.local.mesh/a/status
and none of the others I mentioned earlier displayed an AAM.
Now, several hours later, more are displaying an AAM.
I have downloaded Support Data on many of them.
Maybe I can find something in common or in error among the configurations.
?

The alert message textfiles can be added, changed, or deleted by logging into the node itself, or they can be created on another LAN-connected computer and copied to the /www/aam directory on the hub node. The AAMM program was simply a file manager with a web interface for adding, changing, or deleting those files. You could also use any LAN-connected computer with a web server to provide all the alert message textfiles -- it doesn't need to be located on an AREDN node.
