Remove the Bitcoin RPC 60-second gate that blocked 13+ dependent containers
(mempool, electrumx, btcpay, lnd, fedimint) from being created on first boot.
Containers now always get created and auto-restart via health monitor once
Bitcoin becomes responsive — the designed recovery path.
Additional hardening:
- Validate archy-net creation with retry (silent failure broke DNS)
- Verify critical images are loaded, re-load from tarballs if missing
- Create SearXNG settings.yml before container start (was missing)
- Run reconciler automatically after first-boot failures
- Add load-images as explicit systemd dependency with 900s timeout
- Propagate config write errors in install.rs (bitcoin.conf, lnd.conf)
- FileBrowser password change: retry loop (6 attempts) + 0o600 perms
- Post-start verification: detect containers that exit immediately
- Add 2s dependency waits between container starts

- Install, start, and failure events logged to
/var/log/archipelago-container-installs.log with timestamps
- Enables post-mortem debugging of container lifecycle issues
- UI container hooks: try registry pull before local build fallback

- session.rs: use OnceCell for remember_secret to prevent concurrent
requests on first boot from generating different HMAC secrets, which
caused CSRF token mismatch on every state-changing RPC call (app
install, start, stop all failed with "CSRF token missing or invalid")
- install.rs: write lnd.conf with Bitcoin RPC credentials before LND
container starts (prevents "bitcoin.mainnet must be specified" crash);
inject Bitcoin RPC auth into bitcoin-ui nginx.conf; add proper error
logging to UI container build/run steps; fix UI containers to use
--network=host (they proxy to localhost backend/bitcoin RPC)
- Tor: remove After=tor.service from archipelago-tor-helper.path to
break systemd ordering cycle that prevented Tor from starting on boot
- Seed screen: compact grid layout (2 cols mobile, 4 cols sm+) with
tighter padding to fit kiosk displays without scrolling
- Dockerfiles: remove nonexistent assets/ COPY from bitcoin-ui, fix
electrs-ui to COPY qrcode.js and EXPOSE 50002 (matches nginx.conf)
- image-versions.sh: add UI container image variables for registry

Critical:
- fix: container installs fail with "statfs: no such file or directory"
Root cause: NoNewPrivileges=yes in systemd blocks sudo inside backend.
Fix: use std::fs::create_dir_all + podman unshare chown (no sudo needed)
- fix: Tor services.json never written — \$ARCHY_TOR_DIR escaping bug
- fix: kiosk white screen — increase health wait to 60s, add --disable-gpu
Improvements:
- feat: LUKS encryption badge in Server disk stats (backend detects dm-crypt)
- fix: GRUB theme text scaling on 4:3 monitors — explicit fonts, wider menu
- fix: suppress default Debian MOTD (custom profile.d welcome is enough)
- fix: install error messages now show "Failed to pull/start" instead of
generic "Operation failed" (middleware.rs allowlist expanded)
- fix: container-tests CI — source cargo env before running tests
- docs: interactive container architecture diagram (HTML)

Version per build:
- Health endpoint returns "1.2.0-alpha-{git_hash}" using GIT_HASH env
- CI passes git hash to cargo build
FileBrowser auto-login:
- filebrowser-client.ts: include CSRF token + credentials:include
- First-boot: generate random password, store at secrets/filebrowser/
- Set FileBrowser admin password to match after container creation
Nostr relay:
- Use docker.io/scsibug/nostr-rs-relay:0.9.0 (not in our registry)
UID mappings:
- Added electrumx (UID 1000), mysql-mempool, archy-btcpay-db, nextcloud-db
522 tests pass, Rust compiles clean.

Container name resolution:
- New all_container_names() — single source of truth for every app's
container name variants (bitcoin-knots/bitcoin/bitcoin-core, etc.)
- Covers all historical naming patterns and multi-container stacks
Start/Stop/Restart:
- No more silent failures (let _ = podman...). Every operation logs
the command, checks exit status, and returns real errors to the UI.
- Restart uses stop+start fallback when podman restart fails
(handles rootless podman loopback adapter errors)
- "No containers found" error when app doesn't exist
Tor helper:
- Install archipelago-tor-helper.path + .service in rootfs
- Enable the path unit so backend can manage Tor as non-root
- Copy tor-helper.sh to /opt/archipelago/scripts/
Verified: container with proper caps can stop/start/restart cleanly.

Critical: headless services (Bitcoin, LND, Electrumx) need companion
UI containers that serve web dashboards. These were only built for
Bitcoin, and only on bundled ISO builds.
Changes:
- install.rs: auto-build UI containers for LND (port 8081) and
Electrumx (port 50002) in addition to Bitcoin (port 8334)
- build-auto-installer-iso.sh: always bundle docker UI source files
(was skipping for unbundled builds — they're tiny HTML, not images)
- Dockerfiles: fix nginx base image tag 1.29.6→1.27.4 (matches registry)

fedimintd v0.10.0 requires --data-dir and --bitcoind-url as CLI args,
not just env vars. Container was exiting with usage error.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- LND: add --bitcoin.active --bitcoin.mainnet and all bitcoind
connection args as container CMD args (was only env var before)
- SearXNG: add volume mount + auto-create settings.yml on install
(container exits immediately without it)
- Default caps: all containers get full rootless podman baseline
Tested on .198:
- Bitcoin Knots: running, syncing (942803 blocks)
- Grafana: running, migration complete
- Vaultwarden: running, keys created
- SearXNG: running, listening on 8080
- LND: needs bitcoin container named 'bitcoin-knots' on archy-net

All containers now get CHOWN+FOWNER+SETUID+SETGID+DAC_OVERRIDE+NET_BIND_SERVICE
as the default cap set. Rootless podman needs these for:
- CHOWN/FOWNER/DAC_OVERRIDE: file ownership in mapped UID namespace
- SETUID/SETGID: internal user switching (entrypoint scripts)
- NET_BIND_SERVICE: port binding in network namespaces
Tested on .198: Grafana, Vaultwarden, Bitcoin Knots all start successfully.
Previously failed with "Permission denied" or "loopback adapter" errors.

Bitcoin Knots failed to start with "failed to set loopback adapter up"
because cap-drop=ALL removed NET_BIND_SERVICE, which rootless podman
needs for network namespace setup.
- Add NET_BIND_SERVICE to Bitcoin/LND/Fedimint capabilities
- Add NET_BIND_SERVICE as default for ALL apps (rootless podman needs it)
- UID mapping fix from previous commit also included

create_data_dirs now chowns data directories to the correct mapped
UID for rootless podman (host_uid = 100000 + container_uid).
Previously only Grafana (UID 472) was handled. Now all containers
get the correct ownership:
- Bitcoin Knots: 100101 (container UID 101)
- Grafana: 100472 (UID 472)
- LND: 101000 (UID 1000)
- MariaDB: 100999 (UID 999)
- Postgres: 100070 (UID 70)
- All others: 100000 (UID 0, root)
Without this, containers fail with "Operation not permitted" on
chown during startup because rootless podman restricts UID operations.

FileBrowser crash fix:
- Add --cap-add=NET_BIND_SERVICE (port 80 needs it with --cap-drop=ALL)
- Add --cap-add=DAC_OVERRIDE for rootless volume access
- Both in first-boot script and backend config.rs
Test script fixes:
- Extract csrf_token cookie and send as X-CSRF-Token header on RPC calls
- Add --phase1-only flag for safe install-only checks (no side effects)
- Auto-test service uses --phase1-only so it doesn't steal onboarding
Install fixes:
- Pre-create ~/.local/share/containers (ReadWritePaths mount namespace error)
- Fix console-setup.service: add After=tmp.mount + ExecStartPre mkdir /tmp

All container image references now pull from 80.71.235.15:3000/archipelago/
instead of Docker Hub and ghcr.io. image-versions.sh is the single source
of truth; all scripts use $*_IMAGE variables instead of hardcoded refs.
Files updated:
- scripts/image-versions.sh: central ARCHY_REGISTRY variable
- core/*/config.rs: registry whitelist includes app registry
- core/*/stacks.rs: Immich + Penpot stack images
- scripts/{first-boot,deploy-to-target,container-specs}.sh: use variables
- docker/*/Dockerfile: nginx base image from registry
- image-recipe/: ISO build, podman config, menu script
- scripts/{container-doctor,deploy-bitcoin-knots,fix-indeedhub,validate-app-manifest}.sh
