Build Archipelago ISO (dev) / build-iso (push) Has been cancelled
release(v1.7.37-alpha): bitcoin-core install fixes + dynamic node UI + full-archive default
Install flow
- api/rpc/package/install.rs: always append the literal image URL as a
  last-resort pull candidate in do_pull_image, so images not carried by
  any configured mirror (docker.io/bitcoin/bitcoin:28.4) still install
  instead of masquerading as a generic pull failure across every mirror.
- api/rpc/package/install.rs: write_bitcoin_conf now skips on any stat
  error, not just "file exists". Once bitcoin-knots' first-boot chowns
  /var/lib/archipelago/bitcoin into the container's user namespace (700
  perms, UID 100100/100101), the archipelago daemon can't even traverse
  in — try_exists returns Err which unwrap_or(false) treated as "not
  present" and drove a doomed write. Now errors out of the directory
  traversal are treated as "conf already owned by container user" and
  the write is skipped. Mirrors the lnd.conf pattern.
- api/rpc/package/install.rs: drop the hardcoded `prune=550` from the
  conf default. Operators with multi-TB drives shouldn't be silently
  pruned; users who want a pruned node can set it in bitcoin.conf
  themselves. Full archive is the only honest default.
- api/rpc/package/config.rs: bitcoin-core now passes explicit
  -server/-rpcbind/-rpcallowip/-rpcport/-printtoconsole/-datadir CLI
  args. Vanilla bitcoin/bitcoin:28.4 has no entrypoint wrapper and
  reads conf + argv only; without these the RPC listens on 127.0.0.1
  inside the container and rootlessport can't reach it, so the
  bitcoin-ui companion gets 502 on every /bitcoin-rpc/ call.
  Bitcoin Knots keeps its own entrypoint-driven defaults.
- container/docker_packages.rs: split bitcoin-core out of the shared
  AppMetadata arm. bitcoin-core now surfaces as "Bitcoin Core" with
  bitcoin-core.svg and a Reference-implementation description; the
  bitcoin + bitcoin-knots ids keep the Knots branding. Fixes the home
  card showing "Bitcoin Knots" for a Core install.

Bitcoin node UI (docker/bitcoin-ui)
- index.html: impl name/tagline/logo now dynamic. applyImplBranding()
  reads subversion from getnetworkinfo — /Satoshi:X/Knots:Y/ resolves
  to Bitcoin Knots, plain /Satoshi:X/ resolves to Bitcoin Core. Both
  get their own icon and subtitle. Settings modal replaced its
  hardcoded Regtest/txindex=1/port-18443 placeholders with live values
  from getblockchaininfo + getindexinfo + getzmqnotifications.
- index.html: new Storage info card (Full Archive · X GB /
  Pruned · X GB from blockchainInfo.pruned + size_on_disk) visible on
  the main dashboard, same level as Network. Settings modal mirrors it
  with the prune height when applicable.
- Dockerfile + assets/: bitcoin-core.svg, bitcoin-knots.webp, and the
  bg-network.jpg used by the dashboard are now COPY'd into the image
  under /usr/share/nginx/html/assets. Previously the <img src> pointed
  at paths that 404'd into the SPA fallback and the onerror handler
  hid the broken logo silently.

Frontend
- appSession/appSessionConfig.ts: add bitcoin-core to APP_PORTS (8334),
  HTTPS_PROXY_PATHS (/app/bitcoin-ui/), and APP_TITLES (Bitcoin Core).
  Without these the AppSessionFrame showed "No URL found for
  bitcoin-core" and the home/app-list title fell through to the raw id.
- settings/AccountInfoSection.vue: backfill What's New entries for
  v1.7.31 through v1.7.37 that had been missed in earlier cuts.

Release plumbing
- releases/v1.7.37-alpha/: binary + frontend tarball.
- releases/manifest.json: v1.7.37-alpha, sha256/size refreshed.
- Cargo.toml / package.json: version bumps.

Archipelago

Self-Sovereign Bitcoin Node OS

Archipelago is a bootable personal server OS. Flash it to a USB drive, install on any x86_64 or ARM64 machine, and manage Bitcoin infrastructure, self-hosted apps, and decentralized identity through a glassmorphism web UI.

Debian 13 License Rust Vue.js Version

Features

Bitcoin Infrastructure

  • Bitcoin Knots full node with pruning support
  • LND Lightning Network daemon with channel management
  • ElectrumX Electrum server for wallet connectivity
  • BTCPay Server for accepting Bitcoin payments
  • Mempool block explorer and fee estimator
  • Fedimint federation guardian and gateway

Self-Hosted Apps (30)

Bitcoin (ThunderHub), Storage (FileBrowser, Immich, Nextcloud), Productivity (Penpot, OnlyOffice, Vaultwarden), Media (Jellyfin, PhotoPrism), Search (SearXNG), AI (Ollama), Network (Tailscale, Nginx Proxy Manager), Home (Home Assistant), Nostr (nostr-rs-relay, Nostrudel), Dev (Grafana, Portainer), and more.

Decentralized Identity

  • Ed25519 node identity with DID Documents (did:key)
  • Multi-identity management (Personal/Business/Anonymous)
  • W3C Verifiable Credentials issuance and verification
  • Decentralized Web Node (DWN) with bidirectional sync over Tor
  • Nostr relay integration and NIP-07 signing for iframe apps

Multi-Node Federation

  • Invite-based node joining over Tor hidden services
  • Trust levels (Trusted/Verified/Untrusted) with DID-based auth
  • Bidirectional DWN state sync between federated nodes
  • File sharing with access controls (free/peers-only/paid)

Mesh Networking

  • LoRa radio communication via Meshcore protocol
  • Device discovery and mesh routing
  • Off-grid Bitcoin balance checks (planned)

System Updates

  • OTA updates from self-hosted Gitea (git.tx1138.com) with SHA256 verification
  • Three update modes: Manual, Daily Check, Auto Apply (3 AM window)
  • Rollback support with automatic backup before applying
  • Full UI for update management in Settings

Security

  • ChaCha20-Poly1305 encrypted secrets at rest, Argon2id password hashing
  • Rootless Podman: read-only root, cap-drop ALL, non-root user, no-new-privileges
  • TOTP two-factor authentication
  • Per-endpoint rate limiting, CSRF protection, input validation
  • AppArmor profiles for container confinement
  • Tor hidden services for all inter-node communication
  • All crypto and container dependencies pinned to exact versions
  • Full penetration test completed (33 findings, all remediated)

Quick Start

Install from ISO

  1. Download the ISO for your architecture (x86_64 or ARM64)
  2. Flash to USB drive with Balena Etcher or dd
  3. Boot from USB on target hardware
  4. Follow the automated installer
  5. Access the web UI at http://<device-ip>
  6. Set your password and start the onboarding wizard

Development

Prerequisites

  • macOS or Linux for frontend development

Frontend Development

cd neode-ui

npm start          # Dev server on http://localhost:8100 (mock backend on :5959)
npm run type-check # TypeScript validation
npm run build      # Production build → web/dist/neode-ui/

Deploy to Server

./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --live   # Deploy to primary dev server
./scripts/deploy-to-target.sh --both   # Deploy to both LAN servers

Build ISO

ssh archipelago@<server>
cd ~/archy/image-recipe
sudo ./build-auto-installer-iso.sh
