## 💡 How It Works
|
|
|
|
### What Happens When You Boot
|
|
|
|
1. **Alpine Linux boots** from USB
|
|
2. **Installation script available** at `/media/cdrom/archipelago/install.sh`
|
|
3. **Run installer** → copies everything to disk
|
|
4. **System reboots** → services auto-start
|
|
5. **Web UI accessible** at `http://device-ip:8100`
|
|
|
|
### What Happens When You Install an App
|
|
|
|
**Example: Installing Bitcoin Core**
|
|
|
|
1. **Open Web UI** → Navigate to Apps/Marketplace
|
|
2. **Click "Bitcoin Core"** → Shows manifest details
|
|
- Description
|
|
- Resource requirements (RAM, disk, CPU)
|
|
- Network ports
|
|
- Dependencies
|
|
3. **Click "Install"**
|
|
- Backend reads `/var/lib/archipelago/manifests/bitcoin-core/manifest.yml`
|
|
- Pulls Docker image: `lncm/bitcoind:v27.0` (~500 MB download)
|
|
- Creates Podman container with correct config
|
|
- Mounts data volumes
|
|
- Configures networking
|
|
- Starts the container
|
|
4. **Status updates** via WebSocket to UI
|
|
5. **Bitcoin Core running!**
|
|
|

|
|
## 📋 App Manifest System
|
|
|
|
Each app has a `manifest.yml` that defines:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
name: bitcoin-core
|
|
version: 27.0
|
|
image: lncm/bitcoind:v27.0
|
|
resources:
|
|
min_ram: 2GB
|
|
min_disk: 600GB
|
|
cpu_priority: high
|
|
ports:
|
|
- 8332:8332 # RPC
|
|
- 8333:8333 # P2P
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- bitcoin-data:/data
|
|
environment:
|
|
- BITCOIN_DATA=/data
|
|
dependencies: []
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The **backend reads these manifests** and:
|
|
- Validates requirements
|
|
- Pulls container images
|
|
- Creates containers
|
|
- Manages lifecycle
|
|
|

## 🎯 User Experience Flow
|
|
|
|
### First Boot
|
|
```
|
|
1. Boot from USB
|
|
2. Login as root
|
|
3. Run: sh /media/cdrom/archipelago/install.sh
|
|
4. Reboot
|
|
5. Login as archipelago/archipelago
|
|
6. Open browser → http://device-ip:8100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Installing Apps
|
|
```
|
|
Web UI → Apps → Bitcoin Core → Install
|
|
↓
|
|
Backend pulls image (shows progress)
|
|
↓
|
|
Container created & started
|
|
↓
|
|
Dashboard shows Bitcoin Core running ✅
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### The Apps DON'T Pre-Download Because:
|
|
|
|
1. **Size** - Would make ISO 10+ GB instead of 278 MB
|
|
2. **Choice** - Users may not want all apps
|
|
3. **Updates** - Pulling fresh ensures latest versions
|
|
4. **Storage** - Saves 500+ GB for user data

## 🔧 Technical Details
|
|
|
|
### Manifest Storage
|
|
After installation, manifests are at:
|
|
```
|
|
/var/lib/archipelago/manifests/
|
|
├── bitcoin-core/
|
|
│ ├── manifest.yml
|
|
│ └── Dockerfile
|
|
├── lnd/
|
|
│ ├── manifest.yml
|
|
│ └── Dockerfile
|
|
└── ... (19 more apps)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Backend Integration
|
|
The Rust backend:
|
|
1. Scans `/var/lib/archipelago/manifests/` on startup
|
|
2. Loads all manifest files
|
|
3. Makes them available via API
|
|
4. Web UI fetches list and displays in marketplace
|
|
5. When user clicks "Install":
|
|
- Backend validates manifest
|
|
- Checks resources
|
|
- Pulls image via Podman
|
|
- Creates container
|
|
- Updates database
|
|
- Sends status to UI
|
|
|
|
### Container Management
|
|
```bash
|
|
# List running containers
|
|
podman ps
|
|
|
|
# View Bitcoin Core logs
|
|
podman logs bitcoin-core
|
|
|
|
# Stop Bitcoin Core
|
|
podman stop bitcoin-core
|
|
|
|
# Start Bitcoin Core
|
|
podman start bitcoin-core
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or do it all from the Web UI! 🎨
