Hotfix: archipelago.service ExecStartPre now mkdirs /run/containers and
/var/lib/containers before the unit's mount-namespace setup tries to bind
them. Without this, fresh nodes that don't have /run/containers (e.g.
nodes provisioned without a prior podman session) fail at the namespace
step with:
Failed to set up mount namespacing: /run/containers: No such file or directory
Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning /bin/bash: No such file or directory
Existing nodes don't pick up systemd unit changes via OTA — they need a
one-time `systemctl edit archipelago` adding the same mkdir. ISO installs
from this version forward have the fix baked in.

Sync-perf tuning for bitcoin/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-knots/electrumx.
- Drop the --cpus=2 cap on bitcoin/electrumx variants. Script verification
is parallelizable; the cap halved IBD speed on 4-8 core machines.
- Bump bitcoin --memory 4g→8g so dbcache=4096 has headroom for mempool +
connection buffers + I/O. 4g was OOM-prone during heavy IBD.
- Bump electrumx --memory 1g→2g + add CACHE_MB=2048 + MAX_SEND=10MB.
- bitcoin-core CLI args gain -dbcache=4096 -par=0 -maxconnections=125.
- bitcoin-knots manifest matched (1024MB pruned / 4096MB full + par=0).
Future v2: host-RAM-aware dbcache scaling.

Resilience-validated release. Three full sweeps of the new resilience
harness against .228 confirm no shipstoppers.
Big user-visible:
- Bitcoin RPC auth durably correct via host-rendered nginx.conf bind-mount,
replaces fragile post-start exec that failed under restricted-cap rootless
podman ("crun: write cgroup.procs: Permission denied")
- Multi-container stack installs (indeedhub, immich, btcpay, mempool) now
emit phase events at every boundary so the progress bar advances
- Apps no longer vanish from the dashboard mid-install (absent-scanner skips
packages in transitional states)
- Indeedhub fresh installs work end-to-end (was 8500+ restart loop): five
missing env vars (DATABASE_PORT, QUEUE_HOST, QUEUE_PORT,
S3_PRIVATE_BUCKET_NAME, AES_MASTER_SECRET) added to install code
- Tailscale install fixed: --entrypoint string was being passed as a single
shell-line arg; switched to custom_args array
- Catalog cleaned of broken entries (dwn, endurain, ollama removed; nextcloud
restored on docker.io)
- Bitcoin Core update path uses correct image (was looking for nonexistent
lfg2025/bitcoin:28.4)
- ISO installs now allocate swap on the encrypted data partition
Infra:
- New resilience harness (scripts/resilience/) — black-box state-machine
tester, every app × every transition. Run before each release.
Sweep #3 final: PASS 107 / FAIL 12 / SKIP 14. The 12 fails are 1 cosmetic
(homeassistant trusted_hosts), 8 harness/timing false-positives, and 3
non-shipstopper tracked items. Down from 23 in baseline sweep #1.

Four production-code fixes merit user-visible mention: the transport
chunking data-corruption fix (real user-affecting bug for multi-chunk
mesh payloads), the avatar u16 overflow panic (backend crash on certain
seeds), the outbox TTL boundary, and the image-versions parser hardening.
Document that OTA updates now refresh the reconcile helper scripts,
closing the deploy gap that kept fixes to those scripts from
reaching existing nodes.
Add two user-facing release notes for fixes shipped this round:
- Full-archive Bitcoin nodes no longer silently get pruned on reconcile
because the disk-size check was reading the OS partition.
- Failed updates can now recover via reconcile --create-missing instead
of leaving a destroyed container behind.
- AccountInfoSection.vue: append 5th bullet to v1.7.43-alpha entry
explaining that update-available badges and version comparisons
work again now that the pinned-image catalog is found at the
correct deployed path.
- docs/MARKETPLACE-QA.md: new tracker for the upcoming app-by-app
install walk on .228. Documents the per-app fix workflow, the
four layers we might need to fix at (app recipe, registry image,
backend orchestrator, frontend), status-key table for tracking
each catalog entry, and the release-notes policy for the walk.
- docs/RESUME.md: refresh with a9908597 commit, updated binary md5
on .228, and split Immediate Next Step into Phase 1 (browser
verification) and Phase 2 (marketplace walk) with a pointer to
the new tracker.
Four release-note bullets describing the user-visible changes shipped
in this round:
- async-spawn install/update/uninstall (UI no longer freezes)
- phase-based install progress bar (Preparing through Finalizing)
- scanner kick post-install (Launch button appears immediately)
- .23 Hetzner VPS retired, .168 OVH promoted to Server 1 with
auto-purge migration for existing nodes
Matches the tone of existing changelog entries: what changed from the
operator's perspective, not internal implementation detail.
The Hetzner VPS at 23.182.128.160 was decommissioned. Replace it
everywhere with the OVH VPS at 146.59.87.168, which was previously
the tertiary mirror.
- update.rs: drop DEFAULT_TERTIARY_MIRROR_URL, promote .168 into
the secondary slot as "Server 1 (OVH)"; tx1138 becomes Server 2.
Default mirror list shrinks from 3 to 2.
- container/registry.rs: default RegistryConfig drops .23, promotes
.168 to Server 1 / priority 0, tx1138 stays Server 2 / priority 10.
- api/rpc/package/config.rs: trusted-registry allowlist swaps .23
for .168.
- api/handler/mod.rs: app-catalog fallback URL uses .168.
- neode-ui/views/marketplace/marketplaceData.ts: REGISTRY uses .168.
- scripts/image-versions.sh: ARCHY_REGISTRY_FALLBACK uses .168.
- image-recipe/build-auto-installer-iso.sh: installer ISO registries
use .168 (both podman registries.conf and backend registries.json).
Tests updated to assert on the new 2-entry default lists (registry +
mirror). URL-parser fixture tests in update.rs retain .23 strings —
they exercise string-parsing logic, not mirror policy.
Git remotes: dropped `gitea-vps` and the .23 push URL on the `origin`
multi-push alias (not part of this commit — pure working-copy change).
Podman emits zero parseable progress when stderr is piped (no TTY), so
the old byte-counter regex never matched in real installs. Users saw
0% for the whole pull, then a jump to 95%, then silence through
create-container, health-check, and post-install hooks.
Replace with 7 explicit lifecycle phases wired through install.rs and
update.rs: Preparing (5%), PullingImage (20%), CreatingContainer (70%),
StartingContainer (80%), WaitingHealthy (88%), PostInstall (95%),
Done (100%). Each maps to a fixed UI progress and status message.
Frontend PHASE_INFO mapper in stores/server.ts prioritizes phase when
present, falls back to byte-counter for legacy. A Math.max forward-only
guard ensures the bar never regresses. Deleted the duplicate watcher
in Discover.vue that was fighting the store's watcher with stale byte
logic. Added shimmer CSS on the fill (with prefers-reduced-motion
opt-out) so the bar looks alive during long phases.
