- api/rpc/package/install.rs: always append the literal image URL as a
last-resort pull candidate in do_pull_image, so images not carried by
any configured mirror (docker.io/bitcoin/bitcoin:28.4) still install
instead of masquerading as a generic pull failure across every mirror. - api/rpc/package/install.rs: write_bitcoin_conf now skips on any stat
error, not just "file exists". Once bitcoin-knots' first-boot chowns
/var/lib/archipelago/bitcoin into the container's user namespace (700
perms, UID 100100/100101), the archipelago daemon can't even traverse
in — try_exists returns Err which unwrap_or(false) treated as "not
present" and drove a doomed write. Now errors out of the directory
traversal are treated as "conf already owned by container user" and
the write is skipped. Mirrors the lnd.conf pattern. - api/rpc/package/install.rs: drop the hardcoded
prune=550from the
conf default. Operators with multi-TB drives shouldn't be silently
pruned; users who want a pruned node can set it in bitcoin.conf
themselves. Full archive is the only honest default. - api/rpc/package/config.rs: bitcoin-core now passes explicit
-server/-rpcbind/-rpcallowip/-rpcport/-printtoconsole/-datadir CLI
args. Vanilla bitcoin/bitcoin:28.4 has no entrypoint wrapper and
reads conf + argv only; without these the RPC listens on 127.0.0.1
inside the container and rootlessport can't reach it, so the
bitcoin-ui companion gets 502 on every /bitcoin-rpc/ call.
Bitcoin Knots keeps its own entrypoint-driven defaults. - container/docker_packages.rs: split bitcoin-core out of the shared
AppMetadata arm. bitcoin-core now surfaces as "Bitcoin Core" with
bitcoin-core.svg and a Reference-implementation description; the
bitcoin + bitcoin-knots ids keep the Knots branding. Fixes the home
card showing "Bitcoin Knots" for a Core install.
Bitcoin node UI (docker/bitcoin-ui)
- index.html: impl name/tagline/logo now dynamic. applyImplBranding()
reads subversion from getnetworkinfo — /Satoshi:X/Knots:Y/ resolves
to Bitcoin Knots, plain /Satoshi:X/ resolves to Bitcoin Core. Both
get their own icon and subtitle. Settings modal replaced its
hardcoded Regtest/txindex=1/port-18443 placeholders with live values
from getblockchaininfo + getindexinfo + getzmqnotifications. - index.html: new Storage info card (Full Archive · X GB /
Pruned · X GB from blockchainInfo.pruned + size_on_disk) visible on
the main dashboard, same level as Network. Settings modal mirrors it
with the prune height when applicable. - Dockerfile + assets/: bitcoin-core.svg, bitcoin-knots.webp, and the
bg-network.jpg used by the dashboard are now COPY'd into the image
under /usr/share/nginx/html/assets. Previously the pointed
at paths that 404'd into the SPA fallback and the onerror handler
hid the broken logo silently.
Frontend
- appSession/appSessionConfig.ts: add bitcoin-core to APP_PORTS (8334),
HTTPS_PROXY_PATHS (/app/bitcoin-ui/), and APP_TITLES (Bitcoin Core).
Without these the AppSessionFrame showed "No URL found for
bitcoin-core" and the home/app-list title fell through to the raw id. - settings/AccountInfoSection.vue: backfill What's New entries for
v1.7.31 through v1.7.37 that had been missed in earlier cuts.
