Build Archipelago ISO (dev) / build-iso (push) Has been cancelled
THE apply fix archipelago.service uses ProtectSystem=strict, so /opt and /usr are read-only inside the service's mount namespace. sudo inherits that namespace — every sudo mkdir/mv/chown from apply_update was hitting EROFS even as root. Every prior "Failed to apply update" was a symptom of this. New `host_sudo()` helper wraps every filesystem call in `sudo systemd-run --wait --collect --pipe -- <cmd>`, which spawns a transient unit with systemd's default (no ProtectSystem) protections — the command runs in the host namespace and can touch /opt/archipelago + /usr/local/bin normally. FIPS cascade (#2) Home.vue and Server.vue both carry a FIPS row that previously only looked at {installed, service_active, key_present}. Now they also read anchor_connected + authenticated_peer_count and mirror the full FIPS card: green "Active · N peers" when healthy, orange "No anchor" when the DHT bootstrap has failed. Profile paste URL fallback (#4) Web5Identities.vue list + editor previously had `@error="display:none"` on the <img>, which hid the tag without re-rendering the fallback — a broken pasted URL showed up blank. Replaced with reactive pictureLoadFailed / listPictureFailed flags plus a watcher that resets on URL change. Broken URL now falls back to the initial (or identicon for seed-derived identities). Small-upload data URL (#3) Uploaded profile pictures ≤ 64 KB are now inlined as `data:image/png;base64,...` into profile.picture on the client before calling update-profile. That kind-0 event is fetchable by any Nostr client — no Tor needed. Larger uploads fall back to the onion-rooted public_url with a hint telling the user to paste a public https:// URL for broader visibility. Deferred: #1 FIPS Reconnect "actually fixes" — the current Reconnect calls fips.restart which clears the daemon state, but when the anchor is truly unreachable (UDP 8668 blocked by network/ISP), no amount of restart can help. A richer diagnostic is out of scope for this bundle.

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.
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
- Download the ISO for your architecture (x86_64 or ARM64)
- Flash to USB drive with Balena Etcher or
dd - Boot from USB on target hardware
- Follow the automated installer
- Access the web UI at
http://<device-ip> - Set your password and start the onboarding wizard
Supported Hardware
| Platform | Examples | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| x86_64 | Intel NUC, mini PCs, any 64-bit PC | 4GB RAM, 32GB storage |
| ARM64 | Raspberry Pi 5, ARM64 SBCs | 4GB RAM, 32GB storage |
Recommended: 8GB+ RAM, 1TB+ NVMe SSD (for full Bitcoin node)
Development
Prerequisites
- macOS or Linux for frontend development
- Linux dev server (Debian 13) for backend builds — never build Rust on macOS for Linux
- Node.js 20+, Rust stable toolchain
Frontend Development
cd neode-ui
npm install
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
