Dorian 6a018e4953 Implement Bitcoin and LND UI in Docker setup and enhance startup script
- Added Docker services for Bitcoin Core UI and LND UI, providing web interfaces for both applications.
- Updated the startup script to improve image pulling process and service readiness checks with retries.
- Modified the app view to open the Bitcoin Core UI in a new tab instead of routing through the app.
- Removed the Bitcoin Core Vue component as it is no longer needed, streamlining the UI structure.
- Excluded backend services from the app listing to improve clarity in the Docker package scanner.

# Bitcoin Core Standalone UI - Complete
## What Was Built
A beautiful, standalone Bitcoin Core UI that opens in a **separate browser tab** on its own port (18445), just like the other apps.
## Features
### Layout & Design
- **Improved Layout**: Better organized with distinct sections
- **Header Section**: Logo with animated gradient border, title, subtitle, and live status badge
- **Stats Grid**: 4-card responsive grid showing Network, RPC Port, P2P Port, and Block Height
- **Action Cards**: 3 interactive cards for Connection, Settings, and Logs
- **Connection Details**: Expandable section with copy-to-clipboard functionality
- **Modals**: Beautiful glass-morphism modals for Settings and Logs
### Styling
- Full glassmorphism design matching your onboarding screens
- Gradient backgrounds and borders
- Smooth animations and hover effects
- Responsive design for all screen sizes
- Purple/blue gradient theme (#667eea to #764ba2)
### Functionality
- **Connection Details**: Toggle to show/hide RPC credentials
- **Copy to Clipboard**: One-click copy for all connection strings
- **Live Block Height**: Simulated updates every 5 seconds
- **Settings Modal**: View node configuration
- **Logs Modal**: View node logs
- **Status Badge**: Shows running/stopped state
## Files Created/Modified
### New Files
1. `/Users/dorian/Projects/archy/docker/bitcoin-ui/index.html`
- Standalone HTML page with all CSS and JavaScript
- Self-contained, no external dependencies
- Beautiful Bitcoin logo (embedded SVG)
- Fully functional UI with modals and interactions
### Modified Files
1. `/Users/dorian/Projects/archy/docker-compose.yml`
- Added `bitcoin-ui` service using nginx:alpine
- Serves the UI on port 18445
- Maps to `./docker/bitcoin-ui` directory
2. `/Users/dorian/Projects/archy/neode-ui/src/views/Apps.vue`
- Updated `launchApp()` to open Bitcoin Core in new tab on port 18445
- Removed internal routing logic
3. `/Users/dorian/Projects/archy/neode-ui/src/router/index.ts`
- Removed the `/apps/bitcoin-core` route (no longer needed)
4. `/Users/dorian/Projects/archy/start-docker-apps.sh`
- Updated to show Bitcoin Core UI URL in the service list
### Deleted Files
1. `/Users/dorian/Projects/archy/neode-ui/src/views/apps/BitcoinCore.vue`
- No longer needed since we have standalone UI
## How It Works
1. **Docker Container**: Nginx serves the static HTML page on port 18445
2. **Launch Flow**: Click Bitcoin Core → Opens `http://localhost:18445` in new tab
3. **UI Updates**: JavaScript simulates block height updates and manages modals
4. **Connection Info**: Shows RPC credentials for connecting other apps
## Access Points
- **Main UI**: http://localhost:18445
- **RPC Endpoint**: localhost:18443
- **P2P Port**: 18444
- **ZMQ Blocks**: tcp://localhost:28332
- **ZMQ Transactions**: tcp://localhost:28333
## Credentials
```
RPC User: bitcoin
RPC Password: bitcoinpass
```
## Testing
1. **Restart Docker containers** (if already running):
```bash
cd /Users/dorian/Projects/archy
docker compose down
docker compose up -d
```
2. **Access the UI**:
```bash
open http://localhost:18445
```
3. **Test from Neode UI**:
- Go to My Apps
- Click Bitcoin Core
- Should open in new browser tab with beautiful UI
## What You'll See
- Large Bitcoin logo with animated glow effect
- "Bitcoin Core" title with gradient text
- Green "Running" status badge
- 4 stat cards showing network info and ports
- 3 action cards that open modals or toggle sections
- Connection details with copy buttons
- Full glassmorphism styling matching your design language
Perfect integration with your existing glassmorphism aesthetic!
