by Gert Doering 07 Oct '26

07 Oct '26

Hiya, I was looking forward to receive the "monthly probe reports" in text/plain e-mail format, but it seems what I got is "no HTML means no mail at all"... Is it just me? September 1st and October 1st saw "no mails"... Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.

Atlas Credit Request App: atlasrelay.org
by Trevor Goodyear 06 Oct '26

06 Oct '26

Hi all, Credit requests often appear on this mailing list. I've built Atlas Relay [0] as a small open-source site where researchers can post those requests so donors can find and fill them. - Researchers sign in with GitHub or Microsoft and post a project with a credit goal. They can update project details and post results as their measurements progress. - Donors transfer on atlas.ripe.net as usual, or paste a transfer-only API key that the site uses once and discards. This site isn't affiliated with the RIPE NCC. It's just a hobby project I've been tinkering with after reading this mailing list and being a probe host for a decade. Every transfer happens in RIPE Atlas, and the site never holds credits or stores keys. The code is at [1]. I'd welcome feedback, particularly around user experience and whether this helps researchers and donors. Looking forward to see who will be first!

RIPE Atlas UI updates for 2026-10-05
by Stephen Suess 05 Oct '26

05 Oct '26

Hello Atlas Community, We're pleased to announce another update to the RIPE Atlas UI, with some significant improvements: New landing page: We've redesigned the landing page that logged-out visitors see. It now explains RIPE Atlas and what it does more clearly, and it's more visual and inviting for new users. Performance improvements: Atlas now handles large datasets much faster. Large measurement maps and Khipu diagrams load more quickly and respond faster when you filter them. We've also made a number of other changes, fixes and tweaks. You can see the full list here: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/releases/website_index/2026-10-05 We'd love to hear what you think, so please share your feedback. Kind regards, Stephen RIPE Atlas UI

Notifications about older software probe versions
by Robert Kisteleki 05 Oct '26

05 Oct '26

Dear all, especially software probe hosts, Many of you contribute to RIPE Atlas by running one or more software probes. Thank you for doing so! In the case of software probes you, the host, are in control of the installation and upgrade process. We noticed that there are many probes that have been installed, but not upgraded over time. We'd like to inform you that early next week we'll activate a feature in the system where we'll periodically remind software probe hosts with non-newest versions to upgrade their probes. We expect that at some point later we'll also start enforcing the use of newer versions. Please note that since we provide multiple binary releases, it's also possible to set up automatic package updates for the popular platforms (Debian, RHEL, Raspberry). We'd recommend using this feature (in general, not necessarily just for the probe package). You can find full upgrade instructions for the supported platforms at https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe#upgrading Regards, Robert Kisteleki, for the RIPE Atlas team
