- Updated the Development-Workflow documentation to clarify deployment strategy, emphasizing direct deployment to the live system for testing. - Added detailed instructions for the deployment command, including syncing code, building frontend and backend, and restarting services. - Improved SSH key management section to assist with authentication issues. - Expanded the testing workflow to include steps for checking logs and syncing changes back to the ISO build. - Updated the ISO build integration section to ensure system-level changes are captured for future builds. - Refactored various sections for clarity and completeness, including deployment paths and system configuration files.
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.
