The tx1138 Gitea was retired as a release server 2026-06-13 and its registry frontend is fully dead (500 on every /v2 manifest read, observed 2026-07-10). Nothing may reference it anymore: - registry.rs: no longer a default registry, no longer force-enabled on load; saved configs are stripped of it on load (same one-time migration treatment as the decommissioned Hetzner mirror), with a regression test. - image_policy.rs: removed from TRUSTED_REGISTRIES — refs through the dead host are now refused at the pull site (rejection test added). - api/handler: dropped the legacy catalog-proxy fallback URL. - .gitmodules: indeedhub submodule repointed to the OVH Gitea. - scripts, image-recipe, app-catalog data, neode-ui strings, docs, and all test fixtures repointed to 146.59.87.168:3000 (or neutral example hosts). - image-versions.sh: ARCHY_REGISTRY_FALLBACK emptied (guarded consumers skip it); reconcile-containers.sh candidate guard hardened. The only remaining occurrences of the host string are the strip/reject enforcement paths and their regression tests — the code that guarantees it is never used again.

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: Debian 13 (Trixie) with security updates applied during ISO/install creation
- 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-installer-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.
