RESUME HERE — Rust orchestrator migration
Updated: 2026-04-23 (Step 6 committed, moving to Step 7)
To resume this work, SSH into the ThinkPad and run opencode from ~/Projects/archy/. Or work from the laptop via the SSHFS mount at ~/mnt/archy-thinkpad/.
Where we are
Working through the 11-step plan in rust-orchestrator-migration.md.
- Step 1 —
3767c267ContainerConfig schema withbuild:,ResolvedSourceenum,resolve(), 10 tests - Step 2 —
34af4d9dContainerRuntime trait gainedimage_exists+build_image, 4 argv tests, 25/25 pass - Step 3 —
b6a04d31ProdContainerOrchestrator (999 LOC), 16 tests all pass, not yet wired to main.rs - Step 4 —
e8a59c93ContainerOrchestrator trait, RpcHandler uses it in prod (+13858842chore gitignore ._*) - Step 5 —
fc39b04bBootReconciler with Arc shutdown, 4 paused-time tests pass - Step 6 — main.rs wire-up: construct orchestrator once, load_manifests + adopt_existing + spawn BootReconciler, thread through Server::new / ApiHandler::new / RpcHandler::new, wire shutdown Notify to SIGTERM/SIGINT. Clean
cargo check -p archipelago(6 pre-existing warnings), container tests 43/44 pass (the one failingtest_parse_image_versionsis pre-existing and unrelated — asserts!contains_key("NOT_AN_IMAGE")but the retain on line 106 keeps anything ending in_IMAGE). - Step 7 — Three UI manifests (bitcoin-ui, electrs-ui, lnd-ui) + Dockerfile refactor (runtime bind-mount of nginx.conf) — next up
- Step 8 — Delete bash scripts + systemd units + ISO builder lines
- Step 9 — Hot-swap + verify on .228
- Step 10 — Hot-swap + verify on .116
- Step 11 — Chaos matrix on both nodes
Acceptance evidence (Steps 1–6)
cargo test -p archipelago-container --lib → 25/25 pass.
cargo test -p archipelago container:: → 43/44 pass (all container:: tests; the 1 failure is pre-existing test_parse_image_versions — assert bug against _IMAGE suffix filter).
cargo check -p archipelago → clean, 6 warnings (dead-code on trait methods not yet exercised — expected until Step 9 hot-swap).
Unrelated test failures (identity_manager / session / wallet / mesh / credentials): 24 pre-existing on baseline b6a04d31, fluctuates to 25 on Step 4 — confirmed unrelated (diff only shifted 3 fs-state tests that are independently flaky).
Uncommitted state
Clean — only leftover is tests/ (bats harness from prior session, not in scope for this migration).
Answered design questions (no need to re-ask)
- UI container naming →
archy-<app_id>for UIs only; existing bitcoin-knots/lnd/electrumx keep bare names - BITCOIN_RPC_AUTH injection → runtime bind-mount of nginx.conf (no build-args, no envsubst)
- Reconciler interval → 30 seconds
- Concurrency → per-app
Mutex<()>in aDashMap - Bash scripts → delete immediately (first-boot-containers.sh, reconcile-containers.sh, container-specs.sh, + their systemd units)
- Step 4 extension →
ContainerOrchestratortrait includesinstall(app_id); themanifest_path-based install RPC stays dev-only
Context: which host is what
| Host | IP | Role | Dashboard pw | Sudo pw |
|---|---|---|---|---|
archy (this one) |
192.168.1.116 | Dev ThinkPad (Lenovo X250, Debian 13, archi-thinkpad), also runs v1.7.42-alpha | archipelago | ThisIsWeb54321@ |
archy228 |
192.168.1.228 | Kiosk HP ProDesk, runs v1.7.41-alpha, missing bitcoin-ui + lnd-ui | password123 | archipelago |
Both are development alpha nodes — full destructive latitude, no need to ask before stop/start/rebuild.
Next action
Step 7 — UI manifests + Dockerfile refactor. Design doc §396-437.
- Create
apps/bitcoin-ui/manifest.yml,apps/electrs-ui/manifest.yml,apps/lnd-ui/manifest.yml. Each usescontainer.build.contextpointing at/opt/archipelago/docker/<ui>on the host (so the orchestrator'sbuild_imagestep can find the Dockerfile at install time). - Refactor
docker/bitcoin-ui/Dockerfile+ its nginx.conf template soBITCOIN_RPC_AUTHis injected at runtime via a bind-mount of nginx.conf, not baked via sed at build time. This means the Dockerfile copies only the template, and the manifest'svolumes:entry mounts the rendered nginx.conf from host state dir into/etc/nginx/nginx.confread-only. - No orchestrator code changes in this step — just manifests + Dockerfile edits. Step 9 will hot-swap the binary on .228 which already has the
/opt/archipelago/docker/trees (since those are part of the image).
Archipelago — Current State, Plan, and Releases
Updated: 2026-04-22
This is the "pick this up tomorrow" page. One-stop summary of where we are, what the plan is, and what's shipped. Detailed plan lives in bulletproof-containers.md.
Current state
Fleet status
All four Gitea mirrors are synced to v1.7.40-alpha:
| Mirror | Host | Status |
|---|---|---|
| tx1138 | https://git.tx1138.com | ✅ v1.7.40-alpha live |
| gitea-local | http://localhost:3000 | ✅ v1.7.40-alpha live |
| .160 | http://23.182.128.160:3000 | ✅ v1.7.40-alpha live (Gitea recovered via podman system renumber — see below) |
| .168 | http://146.59.87.168:3000 | ✅ v1.7.40-alpha live |
Fleet test nodes:
| Node | Version | State |
|---|---|---|
| .103 (dev) | 1.7.40 | running, being developed against |
| .116 (this box) | 1.7.40 | healed manually via systemd-run chmod 755 /opt/archipelago/web-ui after v1.7.38/39 bug |
| .198 | 1.7.39 → 1.7.40-alpha | healed manually |
| .228 (primary test) | 1.7.40-alpha | healed manually; bitcoin-core + lnd + electrumx running; UI companions currently missing; bitcoin.conf rpcauth patched live |
| .249 (ISO test) | unreachable today | |
| .253 | 1.7.39 → 1.7.40-alpha | healed manually |
Known open issues (drives the plan below)
- UI companion containers disappear on .228 after daemon restarts — no auto-recreate (fixed by v1.7.45 Quadlet migration)
- bitcoin.conf rpcauth drifts from canonical secret → ElectrumX "Daemon connection problem" (fixed by v1.7.43 reconcile::derived)
host.containers.internalresolves to LAN gateway inside containers on some versions (fixed by v1.7.42 containers.conf)- Podman state DB loss requires manual recovery (fixed by v1.7.44 startup self-heal)
- LND "Connect Wallet" info vanishing after crashes — symptom of the same drift class as #2
- ElectrumX not syncing on .228 — downstream of #2; will resolve when bitcoin.conf is reconciled
Recent field incident (2026-04-22)
- Shipped v1.7.38 + v1.7.39, both broke nginx fleet-wide because the frontend tarball's root dir was
drwx------(700). Every node that OTA'd got 500 errors on every page. - Root-cause fix shipped in v1.7.40 (
create-release-manifest.shchmod + pre-ship assertion thattar tvzf | head -1showsdrwxr-xr-x). - .160 Gitea was down all day (502) because its rootless podman's
libpod/bolt_state.dbhad vanished. Recovered via clearing/run/user/$UID/{containers,libpod,podman}+podman system renumber. - Full failure-mode audit is in
bulletproof-containers.md.
Plan
We're shipping a level-triggered reconciler + Quadlet architecture over six incremental releases. Each release closes one failure mode. See bulletproof-containers.md for the full design, code layout, test harness, chaos matrix, sources.
Release roadmap
| Release | Closes | What lands | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| v1.7.41 | FM5 (bad OTA nginx 500) | Post-OTA auto-rollback. New binary probes https://127.0.0.1/ on boot; if non-200 within 90s, restores web-ui.bak + calls rollback_update() + restarts |
in flight — deploying to .228 for test |
| v1.7.42 | FM4 (host.containers.internal wrong) |
/etc/containers/containers.conf w/ host_containers_internal_ip = 10.89.0.1; every container gets --add-host=host.archipelago:10.89.0.1 |
pending |
| v1.7.43 | FM2 (config drift) | reconcile::derived::render_bitcoin_conf — pure fn over canonical secret, rewrites on drift. Same for lnd.conf |
pending |
| v1.7.44 | FM6 (podman state loss) | Startup probe detects broken podman state, auto-recovers via /run/user/$UID/* clear + system renumber |
pending |
| v1.7.45 | FM1 + FM3 (companion orphans) | archy-bitcoin-ui → Quadlet .container unit in /etc/containers/systemd/. systemd (not archipelago) owns it |
pending |
| v1.7.46 | — | archy-lnd-ui → Quadlet |
pending |
| v1.7.47 | — | archy-electrs-ui → Quadlet |
pending |
| v1.7.48+ | all (full daemon refactor) | core/archipelago/src/reconcile/ module replaces imperative install.rs container management. Main app containers become Quadlet too |
pending |
Test harness (bats + Goss + Chaos Toolkit + vmtest) lands scaffold in v1.7.41, first lifecycle tests blocking v1.7.45, full matrix blocking beta tag.
Release history
v1.7.41-alpha — IN FLIGHT — 2026-04-22
Post-OTA auto-rollback. After an update lands, the node probes its own web UI through nginx — if the frontend isn't answering cleanly within 90 seconds, the node automatically rolls back to the previous version and restarts. A bad release can no longer leave the fleet stranded on an unreachable node.
Changes:
core/archipelago/src/update.rs:PendingVerificationstruct, write marker before service restart,verify_pending_update()on new binary boot — probeshttps://127.0.0.1/, on fail restoresweb-ui.bak+ callsrollback_update()+systemctl restart archipelagocore/archipelago/src/main.rs: startup task invokes verifier concurrently with server
v1.7.40-alpha — 2026-04-22
Proper fix for the 500 error. Fixed the v1.7.38/39 tarball-perms bug at its source — staging dir is now explicitly chmod 755 before tar; --mode=u=rwX,go=rX normalizes archive perms; pre-ship assertion aborts release if tar tvzf | head -1 isn't drwxr-xr-x.
Changes:
scripts/create-release-manifest.sh: pre-tar chmod + tar --mode flag + post-tar verify- Everything from .38 + .39 still in place (onboarding auto-heal, silent logins, app purge, AIUI in tarball)
v1.7.39-alpha — 2026-04-22
Hotfix attempt for v1.7.38's nginx 500 (didn't fully work — still shipped broken tarball perms). Added startup self-heal chmod in main.rs and post-extract chmod in update.rs OTA applier.
v1.7.38-alpha — 2026-04-22
Onboarding auto-heal + silent logins + App Store trim.
Changes:
auth.rs:is_onboarding_complete()auto-heals fromsetup_complete+password_hash(prevents clear-cache → onboarding wizard bug)useOnboarding: tri-state — backend-unreachable no longer defaults to/onboarding/intro- Login sounds gated by
isFirstInstallPhase()— silent after onboarding, typing sounds unaffected - Removed FIPS app, Nostr Relay, Nostr VPN, Routstr, Penpot from catalog + Rust + docker + icons
- Deleted 15 image versions from tx1138, .168, gitea-local registries
- AIUI baked into release tarball via
demo/aiui/ prebuildhook syncsapp-catalog/catalog.json→public/catalog.json
(Shipped with tarball-perms bug; fleet had to be healed before v1.7.40.)
v1.7.37-alpha — 2026-04-22
Bitcoin Core install fixes + dynamic node UI + full-archive default.
- Bitcoin Core passes explicit
-rpcbind/-rpcallowip/etc.CLI args so vanilla image exposes RPC - Split
bitcoin-corefrombitcoin-knotsin backendAppMetadata - bitcoin-ui auto-detects Core vs. Knots from subversion, swaps branding at runtime
- Storage (Full Archive · X GB / Pruned) indicator on dashboard
- Node Settings modal shows real values (network, storage, txindex, ZMQ, RPC port)
- Pull fallback to
docker.iowhen no mirror carries the image - Removed
prune=550hardcode — full archive default
