Rootless podman migration (TASK-11): - Remove sudo from all podman calls in PodmanClient + 8 backend files - Remove sudo from all podman/docker calls in deploy script - Restore full systemd security hardening: NoNewPrivileges, RestrictAddressFamilies, MemoryDenyWriteExecute, RestrictRealtime, RestrictNamespaces, RestrictSUIDSGID, SystemCallFilter, ProtectSystem=strict - Enable loginctl linger for rootless container persistence - Remove Ollama from auto-deploy (marketplace-only) Session & auth hardening: - Increase MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS 20→50 (prevents eviction storms) - Debounced 401 redirect in rpc-client.ts (prevents redirect storms) Boot stability: - optimize-debian.sh: adds chrony, swap, removes policy-rc.d - deploy script: pre-restart chrony + swap setup - ISO build: chrony package, swap file creation - BootScreen: no longer clears localStorage (prevents splash replay) - RootRedirect: sole owner of localStorage clearing on server ready UI fixes: - Sidebar opacity default changed from 0→visible (fixes missing sidebar after page-persistence login without entrance animation) - Console.log/error wrapped in import.meta.env.DEV guards - Remove unused route import from RootRedirect Beta tracking: - CLAUDE.md: beta freeze protocol added - MASTER_PLAN.md: TASK-11, TASK-17, phase structure - BETA-PROGRESS.md: initial tracking doc - Tagged v1.2.0-alpha.1 as pre-rootless baseline Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
