Releases no longer ship as bootable ISOs. Archipelago updates are distributed as the backend binary plus a frontend tarball referenced by releases/manifest.json. Nodes OTA-update via scripts/self-update.sh. Filebrowser and AIUI remain bundled inside the frontend tarball and deployed atomically, verified present in v1.7.43-alpha release artifact (189 AIUI files, filebrowser-client bundle). Archived under image-recipe/_archived/ (resurrectable if ISO distribution is reintroduced): - build-auto-installer-iso.sh - build-unbundled-iso.sh - test-iso-qemu.sh - scripts/convert-iso-to-disk.sh - BUILD-ISO-STATUS.md, ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md - branding/isohdpfx.bin - .gitea/workflows/build-iso-dev.yml Updated release process docs to drop ISO references: - scripts/create-release.sh (next-steps text) - docs/BETA-RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md - docs/hotfix-process.md - README.md

# Archived ISO build recipes
|
|
|
|
These scripts built the Archipelago auto-installer ISO (bundled and
|
|
unbundled variants). As of v1.7.43-alpha, ISOs are no longer part of the
|
|
release deliverable. Releases ship as tarballs consumed by
|
|
`scripts/self-update.sh` on existing nodes.
|
|
|
|
Archived here rather than deleted so they can be resurrected if ISO
|
|
distribution is reintroduced.
|
|
|
|
## Contents
|
|
|
|
- `build-auto-installer-iso.sh` — orchestrator, bundles container images into squashfs
|
|
- `build-unbundled-iso.sh` — thin wrapper that sets BUNDLE_IMAGES=0 and delegates
|
|
- `test-iso-qemu.sh` — smoke-tests a built ISO under QEMU
|
|
- `scripts/convert-iso-to-disk.sh` — converts an ISO to a raw disk image
|
|
- `BUILD-ISO-STATUS.md`, `ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md` — contributor guides
|
|
- `branding/isohdpfx.bin` — isolinux MBR hybrid image
|
|
- `.gitea-workflows/build-iso-dev.yml` — CI workflow that ran the build+smoke-test
|
|
|
|
## To resurrect
|
|
|
|
1. `git mv image-recipe/_archived/* image-recipe/` (adjust paths back)
|
|
2. Restore `.gitea/workflows/build-iso-dev.yml`
|
|
3. Re-add release-process references (see `scripts/create-release.sh`,
|
|
`docs/BETA-RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md`, `docs/hotfix-process.md`, `README.md`).
|
|
|
|
## Why archived
|
|
|
|
The release flow is simpler and faster as tarball-only:
|
|
- `releases/vX.Y.Z-alpha/archipelago` (backend binary)
|
|
- `releases/vX.Y.Z-alpha/archipelago-frontend-X.Y.Z-alpha.tar.gz` (frontend + AIUI + filebrowser UI assets)
|
|
- `releases/manifest.json` (pointers + changelog)
|
|
|
|
Nodes pull these via `scripts/self-update.sh` from either Gitea mirror.
|
|
Filebrowser and AIUI remain bundled inside the frontend tarball and deployed
|
|
atomically by `self-update.sh`.
