BootReconciler (in-process, 30s interval, spawned from main.rs as of Step 6 commit 48f08aa3) fully replaces the timer-driven bash reconciliation path. Delete the systemd unit + timer and their ISO-builder touchpoints. Removed: - image-recipe/configs/archipelago-reconcile.service - image-recipe/configs/archipelago-reconcile.timer - image-recipe/build-auto-installer-iso.sh L412-413 (COPY unit+timer) - image-recipe/build-auto-installer-iso.sh L449 (systemctl enable) - image-recipe/build-auto-installer-iso.sh L542-543 (cp to WORK_DIR) Kept (intentionally): - scripts/reconcile-containers.sh - scripts/container-specs.sh Reason: core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/package/update.rs still invokes reconcile-containers.sh at two sites (OTA update + rollback paths). Porting those call sites to ContainerOrchestrator::upgrade() requires manifests for every container update.rs might touch — that scope belongs in Step 8b. Until then the script stays on disk, just no longer runs on a periodic timer. No Rust code changes. cargo check -p archipelago clean, 6 pre-existing warnings. Skipped full ISO rebuild validation per user decision — edits are 5 textual deletions with zero behavioral ambiguity; Step 9 live hot-swap on .228 will catch any regression.
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 13 (Trixie) 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-13-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.
