The animated federation map froze the framework-pt 4K TV: the launcher held every machine to the HD 5500-era choppy-audio flags (single raster thread, GpuRasterization banned) while the map wrote SVG attrs at 60fps. - Launcher: two flag tiers. legacy = the proven conservative set; modern (Intel gen8+, 'NNth Gen' models, AMD Ryzen) = default raster threads + GPU rasterization. Classified from /proc/cpuinfo (11 model strings covered by tests in-session); KIOSK_GRAPHICS=performance|quality in kiosk-display.conf overrides; headless unchanged. Reaches deployed kiosks via the include_str! self-heal, same as the vsync fix. - system.kiosk-display.get/set: carries a 'graphics' field alongside 'preset'; setting one no longer clobbers the other. - Settings → Display: Graphics picker (Auto / Compatibility / Quality). - NetworkMap3D: kiosks default to the 2D projection (remembered toggle still works) and tick at half rate with carried-over deltas — same spin speed, half the paint cost. - Changelog: curated Unreleased notes for all of the above + the gate frame-embedding fix.

Archipelago
Self-sovereign Bitcoin node OS and manifest-driven app platform.
Archipelago is a bootable personal server OS for Bitcoin infrastructure,
self-hosted apps, mesh communication, decentralized identity, and federation.
Apps are packaged as declarative manifest.yml files and run as rootless
Podman containers managed by the Rust backend.
What is here
core/- Rust workspace: backend API, container runtime, security, OpenWrt helpers, and performance/resource management.neode-ui/- Vue 3 + TypeScript frontend.apps/- app manifests and custom app container sources.docker/- supporting container build contexts for UI companion surfaces.image-recipe/- bootable image/ISO build inputs.Android/- Android companion app.scripts/- development, release, deployment, and validation tooling.docs/- architecture, app packaging, operations, API, and roadmap docs.
Platform model
Archipelago is built as a developer-ready app platform, not a fixed appliance:
- Apps are declared in
apps/<app-id>/manifest.yml. - The Rust parser in
core/container/src/manifest.rsis the canonical schema. - The orchestrator compiles manifests to rootless Podman/Quadlet runtime state.
- App data lives under
/var/lib/archipelago/<app-id>/. - Secrets are generated or read from
/var/lib/archipelago/secrets/and injected through Podman secrets rather than static environment values. - Release and app catalogs are signed and verified against a pinned trust anchor.
Start with:
- Architecture
- Developer Guide
- App Developer Guide
- App Manifest Spec
- Nostr Git Source Hosting Plan
- Troubleshooting
Quick start
Frontend
cd neode-ui
npm install
npm start
The dev UI runs at http://localhost:8100 with a mock backend on :5959.
Backend
cd core
cargo build
cargo test --all-features
Linux is the supported backend runtime and release-build target. macOS is fine for frontend work and many Rust compile/test loops, but host integration tests that touch Podman, systemd, networking, or image build paths require Linux.
App manifests
./scripts/validate-app-manifest.sh apps/filebrowser/manifest.yml
python3 scripts/generate-app-catalog.py
python3 scripts/check-app-catalog-drift.py --release --strict
scripts/generate-app-catalog.py requires Python with PyYAML installed.
