Dorian 08bb2c80d4 feat: LUKS2 encryption, boot sequence fixes, onboarding auth, CI/CD
- LUKS2 full-partition encryption for /var/lib/archipelago/ (TASK-42)
  4-partition layout: BIOS + EFI + root (30GB) + encrypted data
  AES-256-XTS with AES-NI detection, ChaCha20 fallback for ARM
  Auto-unlock via crypttab + random key file

- Fix EFI boot errors: remove shim-signed, clean shim artifacts
- Fix first-boot sequence: always show boot animation before onboarding
- Fix stale localStorage causing login instead of onboarding (BUG-47)

- Add auth.setup + auth.isSetup RPC handlers for password on clean install
- Add onboarding methods to UNAUTHENTICATED_METHODS (DID sign 403 fix)

- FileBrowser bundled in unbundled ISO, fix auto-login Secure cookie (BUG-46)
- Kiosk mode: xorg/chromium in rootfs, toggle script, MOTD instructions

- Add Gitea Actions CI/CD workflow for automatic ISO builds

Archipelago OS Image Recipes

Build scripts for creating bootable Debian Linux OS images for Archipelago Bitcoin Node OS.

Quick Start

Build the ISO

# 1. Sync latest configs from live dev server
./sync-from-live.sh

# 2. Build components
./scripts/build-backend.sh
./scripts/build-frontend.sh

# 3. Build the ISO
./build-debian-iso.sh

This creates a bootable Debian Live ISO with Archipelago pre-installed.

Write to USB

# Using dd (recommended)
./write-usb-dd.sh /dev/diskN

# Or use Balena Etcher to flash the ISO

See the ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md for a comprehensive build workflow.

See the Architecture documentation for detailed system information.

What's Included

  • Debian Linux Base: Stable Debian 12 (Bookworm) distribution
  • Podman: Container runtime for apps (rootless by default)
  • Archipelago Backend: Rust-based API server
  • Archipelago Frontend: Vue.js web interface
  • Systemd Services: Automatic service management
  • Network Configuration: NetworkManager for easy setup

Build Output

  • results/archipelago-debian-12-x86_64.iso - Bootable hybrid ISO image

Supported Platforms

  • x86_64: Dell OptiPlex, HP ProDesk 400 G4 DM, Start9 Server Pure, and other x86_64 machines
  • Build Systems: macOS (requires Docker) and Linux (native or Docker)

Installation Methods

1. Live USB Boot

Boot from USB, run in live mode to test, or install to disk.

2. Full Disk Installation

From the live environment, run:

sudo /archipelago/install-to-disk.sh

This installs Archipelago to a target disk using debootstrap.
