Dorian fe963a1a8b fix(fips,iso): match upstream fips schema + guard ISO against stale binary
1. FIPS daemon config schema drifted: upstream jmcorgan/fips now takes
   `node.identity.persistent: true` (keys read from config-dir/fips.key)
   and `transports.udp.bind_addr: "0.0.0.0:PORT"` instead of
   `identity.key_file/pub_file` + `transports.udp.enabled/port`. The
   `tor:` transport was dropped entirely; archipelago handles Tor
   fallback itself. fips.yaml generated by archipelago::fips::config
   now matches the upstream schema, and archipelago-fips.service stops
   crashlooping on Activate. Observed on .198: 52 restarts with
   "data did not match any variant of untagged enum TransportInstances
   at line 7 column 3".

2. ISO backend-binary capture didn't verify that the captured binary
   matched the checked-out Cargo.toml version. Today's 14:40 ISO
   shipped a stale 1.4.0 binary because `core/target/release/archipelago`
   pre-dated the 1.5.0-alpha bump — the build grabbed it via the
   first-priority "local release build" path without looking at it.
   All four capture sources now go through verify_backend_version()
   which greps the binary for the expected version string; mismatches
   are skipped so the build falls through to the source-build path.

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.
